Hello and welcome to my website! I am an 8th grade math teacher at the Ballard Middle School. I am originally from northeast Iowa and graduated from Upper Iowa University in 2018. I live in Huxley with my husband, Kyle, and we have identical twin daughters, Kate and Grace, who just turned 2 this summer and a 4 month old baby girl, Emma. In our free time we like doing fixer-up projects, staying active, and trying new recipes! Go Bombers!
On this website students and parents will be able to see the weekly agenda for each of my classes. The weekly agenda will include each day's learning goal, the standard(s) we are working on, as well as homework assignments or upcoming assessments.
Also on this website are link to the proficiency scales for both 8th Grade Math and Algebra 1. We use these proficiency scales to showcase what specifically a student is expected to learn and to be transparent on how students will be assessed.
Additionally, there is a helpful links tab at the top of the page. This is where I will share common links we use during class as well as additional resources for students and families.
