Rainbow Mountain Third Grade
Eddy Webb, 3rd Grade Lead Teacher
Eddy Webb has been teaching 3rd graders at Rainbow Mountain for the past 5 years. He has a Master’s Degree in Teaching at the elementary level and has a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology.
Growing up the son of an Army chaplain, Eddy attended many schools with varied educational approaches and populations. He recognized first-hand how important it was for teachers to love what they were doing; he was also keenly aware how teachers’ enthusiasm or lack thereof impacted children’s learning. These early experiences and observations inspired Eddy to become a teacher himself.
Eddy shares his own love of learning by encouraging his students to pursue their interests and share their understanding using multiple intelligences, independent research and group activities. Rarely without his acoustic guitar, Eddy also shares his love of music and his family’s blue grass roots.
At this age, children’s eyes are starting to open up to the larger world around them, but they are not yet inundated by it. Third graders are full of “a ha!” discoveries that Eddy treasures. He takes great joy in seeing his students get excited about a project and then using essential learning skills to dive into subject matter in a totally unique and relevant way.
When Eddy is not teaching or helping plan community celebrations, he enjoys spending time with his daughter and wife, mountain biking, canoeing, and singing with friends and family around a bonfire.
