I have been teaching at the elementary level for 34 years. During this time I have taught Early Childhood Family Education, Learning Readiness, Summer Learning Adventures, Camp Invention, Kindergarten, and am currently teaching First Grade, which I love! I completed my Master's degree through Concordia, St. Paul in Differentiated Instruction. I live with my husband, Bryan, right outside of Albany. Our two girls, Amanda and Elizabeth, are living on their own. I enjoy reading, quilting, gardening, and teaching.
