Welcome to First Grade!
I grew up on a farm in Heron Lake, Minnesota. After I graduated from high school, I moved to Mankato and attended Minnesota State University, Mankato. In 2009, I received a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a specialty in Communication Arts and Literature. This will be my 16th year teaching 1st grade at JWP. It is absolutely amazing watching, helping, and learning with first graders. This is the year many kids learn how to read or really take off, and I LOVE helping kids on that journey. Hearing things like "I can read!" or "I did it!" and seeing their faces light up is the best feeling! I can't wait to learn with you!
I am married to my husband, Brad. We have a 10 year old daughter, Aubrey, and a 6 year old daughter, Brylee. We love reading, playing outside, and taking trips. I also like to watch football and cheer on the Vikings!
It is important to keep communication open between us, and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel the need.
