Mrs. Retzler

Hello! I am Mrs. Retzler and I have been teaching first grade at Brooks for 23 years. Time flies when you are having fun! I taught 2nd grade for a couple years and quickly discovered that first grade was where my heart is. I love watching young learners discover the magic of reading and writing. The excitement they have for learning is contagious! In my classroom, I strive to make learning challenging, active and fun.

When I'm not teaching first grade, I am a very busy mom to Meghan (10th Grade) and Lucas (8th Grade) and Chloe our dog. As a family we like to play sports, watch movies and take trips. I also really enjoy reading books of all kinds! I love sharing my passion for reading with my family and students.
