Victoria Ganjanathavat
Third Grade

Hello!  I am Victoria Ganjanathavat and my last name is pronounced, phonetically, just as it looks, but until you have had some practice pronouncing it, I will be happy to go by Mrs. “G”.

 I am very proud and excited to be a part of Rose Union; a school that houses exceptional teachers and a wonderful administration.  I was a fifth grade teacher at Washington Irving in Edmond before I came to Rose Union.  I taught third grade last year and fifth grade for three years at Rose Union.  I love teaching any grade, but third graders hold a special place in my heart! 

I was born and raised in Tulsa and I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) in Elementary Education.  I am trained in “Great Expectations” and in “Love and Logic”.

 Some workshops that I have attended are "Effective Strategies for Reading in the Content Areas", "What Does A Literacy Classroom Look Like", "Never Give Up" (for struggling readers), and the "Daily Five Management System", as well as many other math workshops.

I incorporate training from "Great Expectations" and "Love and Logic" into my classroom management style.  I believe that all children need consistent and daily classroom expectations, love and logical consequences.

My husband, Yongyut  (Ute) is from Thailand (The Land of Smiles).  We have three grown children.  Pattya is a Gemologist living in New York, Katie is an Attorney in Minneapolis and A.J. graduated from the O.U. School of Medicine this last May and has now begun his journey as a Neurology Resident.   Besides teaching children, I also love gardening, painting, sewing, reading, traveling, writing children’s books and caring for our Shih Tzu and Yorkie puppies named Poshi and Yoda.  Hazel, our Egyptian Mau cat tends to take care of her independent self.

Thank you for sharing your child!
