Kristine Burke

Welcome to third grade! I am excited to be your child's third grade teacher. This is my 29th year of teaching. I have been at Solorio since the school's opening in 2000.

Math is my passion! I love to teach tricks with puzzles and numbers. I am married, and I have two children. My life is busy outside of school; trying to keep up with my girls.

Some of my favorites:

Drink: Sprite or Cactus Cooler

Fast food: In N Out and Panera

Snack: Junior Mints/Milk Duds

Hobby: Puzzles/Escape Rooms

Store: Bath and Body Works/Amazon

Something weird about me: I don't drink coffee, tea, or anything with caffeine.

Contacting me:

If you need to contact me, please email me at kristine_burke@etiwanda.org. I usually respond within 24 hours. There are times when I might be in a meeting, off-campus, or in a training. Response times to emails may take a bit longer; in those instances. If we are in class, please remember that "personal" messages to your child, may not get delivered in a timely manner. It is best to contact the office with important messages.
