My name is Emily Kling, and I am so excited to join the first grade team at Vandora Springs! I have been a teacher since 2019 and absolutely love my job! My husband and I moved to Raleigh from Northern Virginia, where I was born and raised. I received a degree in Elementary Education and also have a Master's degree in Special Education. 

In my first grade classroom, everyone is welcome, important, and loved. I am passionate about helping students learn and grow—not just academically but also in kindness, compassion, and learning to being a good friend. We will work together, help each other, and try our best every day! 

When I am not in school, I love spending time with my husband and our golden retriever, Cali. We love to travel, bike, hike, and anything outdoors! I also love to read, cook, and jam out to Taylor Swift. We have enjoyed exploring new places in North Carolina and meeting lots of new people.

I’m looking forward to a fantastic year and getting to know each one of you!
