Welcome to First Grade!
I am very excited that I get to be your teacher this year! We are going to have such a great year of LEARNING, making new FRIENDS and having lots of FUN! I can't wait to see what this year will bring. In the meantime, I thought you might like to know a little about me.
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Andrew for 11 years. We have three very active kiddos. Our oldest son, Easton, is 10 years old and he is in Fourth Grade this year! Our daughter, Marly, is 8 years old and is in Third Grade! Our youngest son, Caelum, will turn 7 on Thanksgiving (literally)! He is now in First Grade! These three kiddos take up most of my free time! However, I do enjoy crafting, cooking, and spending as much time as I can at the lake and outside!
I have lived in Montevideo most of my life. I attended high school here in Montevideo and learned from many of our current staff here at ISD 129! I graduated from Moorhead State University in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am currently certified in LSCI Training, which stand for Life Space Crisis Intervention. I am Certified in LETRS, which is a Science of Reading Literacy Program. I embarked on two new journeys this year. These include a Masters program from ACE in Literacy and a year long UFLI inspired classroom course through florida to facilitate our new reading foundations curriculum for K-3.
This will be my sixth year teaching! In the past, I have taught Preschool and Kindergarten. However, this will be my 4th year teaching First Grade and I'm loving it! There is so much that I am looking forward to this year and I am excited to get it started! Now that you know somethings about me and I can't wait to get to know you!
