Welcome to Mrs. van Niekerk's 5th Grade Class

You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.  Winnie the Pooh
My name is Almarie van Niekerk. I have been a teacher at South Pointe Elementary for the last 2 years. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work and educate every student in my class. I focus on the individual  person and what a child can achieve when you give him/her the opportunity to learn. I have been a teacher for my entire professional career. I started as a high school, then middle school and now an elementary school teacher. I was born and raised in South Africa and have lived in different parts of the world. My global and multi-cultural experiences make me appreciate different languages, cultures and backgrounds, no matter the age, gender and culture.
