Mrs. Kulkarni
Mrs. Kulkarni teaches 7th grade Life Science and comes to Mabry from Simpson Middle School. In 2004, she was one of the 15 Georgia teachers to receive the Best New Teacher Assistance grant from Georgia Power Company. She was nominated by Kennesaw State University for this grant.
Mrs. Kulkarni emphasizes hands on activities in her classroom and believes students learn best by experimenting and investigating. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Education in addition to her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Science. She came to the United States from India in 1996. We are delighted she is a member of the Mabry family.
This summer Mrs. Kulkarni visited her family in India. The summer for students in India had almost ended. All the shops and stores were full of parents and students trying to shop for books, uniforms, and other school related materials. Schools started on June 12th and the roads were packed with school buses, car riders and walkers.
On this trip, she also visited Goa, a state on the western coast of India. It is renowned for its beaches and churches. While traveling by car through the rural areas, she got to see a group of fishermen sewing the fish net. She was excited to see how the men are so deeply engrossed in their work. She was also invited on a local radio show and at the women's club to talk about the differences in Indian and American education. Ms. Kulkarni is refreshed and looks forward to the beginning of the new school year.
