Meet the 4K Teachers
Hello! Welcome to 4K! I'm Mrs. Rachel Koplin and welcome to our 4K webpage. I teach a morning and afternoon class at Deerfield Elementary School. This is my seventeenth year of teaching and my sixteenth year as a Pre-K teacher. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006. I taught in Milwaukee for two years, Deerfield (the first time) for eleven years, and Janesville for three years. I am thrilled to be back teaching in Deerfield where I helped implement the very first 4K program in 2008. I live in Janesville with my husband Tim and my two daughters Sofie (4) and Emily (3). I absolutely love teaching 4K as it is many times student's first school experience. It is exciting to watch them grow throughout the course of the school year. I am truly looking forward to teaching your child and providing them with a positive first school experience.
Mrs. Stephanie Peterson works with the 4K students in the morning and afternoon at Deerfield Elementary School. Her and her family have lived in Deerfield for 12 years. She has 4 boys Jake (19), Brenden (15), Alex (15), and Matthew (13) and a dog Holly {she needed to have a girl in the house :) }. She is currently attending Madison College full-time to work towards getting her teaching degree. When time allows she likes to read, dance, and cross stitch.
