My name is Kimberly Waale, and I teach seventh-grade language arts. I am a high-school graduate of Goodrich, ND, a college graduate of VCSU, and I received my Master's Degree in Literacy from MSUM.

My teaching experience includes three years in Kenmare, ND, one in Dilworth, MN,  nine years at DGF high school, eight years in Floodwood, MN, and currently I will be starting my seventeenth year at DGFMS for a total of thirty-eight years.

Reading, writing, and speaking are integral to any future position in the work force; therefore, every day in language arts, we emphasize each of those components of the language-arts curriculum.
