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.
