Hello!
My name is Mrs. Kraus (formerly Ms. Woodman) and I am the 7th and 8th grade math teacher. This will be my second year teaching at Lin-Wood, but I have a long history here. In fact, I am a Lin-Wood graduate and have worked as a substitute teacher here over the years. I also completed my student teaching experience with Ms. Steeves (she’s awesome!).
Originally, I set out to become a science teacher, but I realized how much I loved helping students learn math after some tutoring and paraprofessional opportunities came my way. I realize that at times math can be frustrating and difficult to grasp, but the good new is that I have also seen math have a positive effect on student confidence. My goal is to build that confidence with all of my students and to develop and sustain a welcoming, supportive, and productive classroom environment. Here's to a great year!
