Hello and welcome to Third Grade!
This is my tenth year with our wonderful group of educators. Over the years, I have worked with students from pre-K up to 3rd grade. I earned my BA from the University of MN, and am nearly finished with graduate work at Hamline University. I've learned so much while in college classrooms, but I've gained as much, if not more, from working in a community filled with knowledgeable, passionate, hard-working people who are so committed to teaching our students.
When I'm not working, I love doing projects around my house and reading. My favorite thing to do is spending time with my family and friends. My husband and two daughters and I like going to movies and cooking together. We like experimenting to see what we can get to grow in our garden and we love to relax at our cabin on Lake Superior. Wherever we spend our time, we always have our dogs, Scarlet and Chewie, along for the ride.
I'm so excited to see where this year takes us! I value every chance to teach and to learn from everyone in the community of room 245.

Cell Phone Policy During MCAs
Per state requirements, students are unable to have access to their cell phones or wearable technology at any time during MCA testing or during breaks from MCA testing. In the event that a student has access to a cell phone or wearable technology during testing, the student’s test is required to be invalidated, even if the student did not use the device. Wearable technology includes, but is not limited to smart watches and fitness trackers.
On dates when your student is scheduled to take MCA assessments, your student will check in their phone and/or device with me on the morning of testing. I will collect the phone/device, put it in a labeled zip locked bag and keep it in a locked cupboard until the end of testing for the day, at which time I will return the phone/device to your student
e-learning packet
Attached is an eLearning packet. This packet will be printed off and sent home with your student in the near future. Please keep this packet in a safe place. It will be used if your student needs to learn from home for any reason. Thank you and let me know if you have any questions!
