My name is Linda Korum. I grew up in Oregon City. I have lived in the Battle Ground School District for 24 years. I taught math intervention and 5th grade before I became a 7th grade math teacher. This will be my 15th year at Tukes. I have written 3 books, however, none are published, yet. My career as an author was cut short by my desire to pursue a Masters Degree in Education. I was an exchange student to Finland and still speak with my friends in Finland regularly. I have taught Finnish, Cultural Studies and the school Newsletter as after-school activities, as well as team leader for the SW Math Challenge and Advisor with the Dream Team. I was the ASB Advisor for 8 years. I was on the Districts' Number Talk Committee and the Math Academy and I also spent 6 years in the Statewide Math Fellows program. I won a National competition for American History Teacher of the year.

In 2021, I also won the Green Medalist Award from Earth Gen. My daughter, Anna, is 25 years old and graduated from Battle Ground High School. I have 1 dog, Amara (mixed breed) and 3 granddogs: Boone and Willa May (black labs) and Dale (German Shorthair). I also have cats named Midnight, Avery, and Lucy and a turtles named Gus and Olga. Last but not least, my Grandhorse is named Swayze.

Amara is now 9 years old and so silly!

Here's Boone! He is Amara's partner in crime!

Boone LOVES water! He is patiently waiting for me to turn the hose on.

Amara likes Gus. Boone wants to eat him.

My daughter's other dog, Dale, has taken 1st place at a dog show. Darcy's Daughter in law shows him.

I take selfies with George Washington (here is Young George in Williamsburg, VA)

Here is George a little older here in Vancouver, WA

Darcy and I walk our dogs together!

Greg and I like to explore different places and play in the sand and snow

Besides teaching, I like to camp, swim, hike, play in the snow and sand and explore. I love reading and drinking coffee and traveling, and racing my turtle (I usually win).

We have a lot of fun in my class, but we also have a lot to learn and I have high expectations for ALL my students. I look forward to seeing how much each of my students grow throughout the year, and beyond!
