Hello!

I’m Mrs. Anderson, your second grade teacher! I’m so excited for all the fun and learning we’ll get to experience together this year.

I grew up right here in Parker and graduated from Parker High School in 2017. I went on to earn my degree in elementary and special education from the University of South Dakota—go Yotes!

These days, I live in Harrisburg with my husband, Zack, my daughter, Amaya, and our adorable puppy, Charlie. Some of my favorite things include traveling, spending time with family and friends, and playing volleyball. I also love hiking, shopping on Amazon, and sipping a BUBBL'R Twisted Elix'r. My favorite holiday is Christmas, my favorite animals are dogs and elephants, and my favorite color is red—of course!

This will be my sixth year teaching, and I can’t wait to watch you grow this year!

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe in the power of yet—that with a growth mindset, every student can learn, grow, and overcome challenges. In our classroom, we work as a team, support each other, and aren’t afraid to try new things. Learning is about progress, not perfection!

Classroom Expectations

In our classroom, we focus on building a strong, respectful, and caring community where everyone feels safe to learn and grow. I use a consistent and thoughtful approach to behavior that centers around logical consequences, student accountability, and open communication between home and school.
