Pre-Kindergarten Teacher's Websites

My name is Kristin Grove and I teach 4/5 year old Pre-K and ECFE classes. I live here in Morris with my husband Tim, my three children and two cats. This will be my 12th year at Morris Area Pre-K / ECFE! I truly enjoy watching my students make friends, discover something new, and learn through PLAY!

I have been teaching children for over 24 years! I grew up in Rapid City (SD) and graduated from SDSU (Human Development and Child/Family Services) and the University of Sioux Falls (Elementary Education).

I enjoy family time, walks, sports, reading, chocolate and coffee, and being able to do what I love....TEACH! 

Hello! My name is Tammy Radtke-Looker and this is my seventh year teaching Pre-K in Morris.

I was born and raised in Morris and moved back "home" with my husband and two daughters in 2014.                                                   

I received my Bachelor of Science degree at Bemidji State University. I am licensed to teach Pre-K through 6th grade. After college, I taught kindergarten and ECFE for 14 years in Northome, MN. After returning to Morris, I taught 2nd grade in Hancock for one year and did child care for almost 2 years before returning to the classroom fall of 2018.

I enjoy spending time with family, friends, being outdoors (camping, walking, snowshoeing), and TEACHING!

I'm super excited to be teaching at Morris. GO TIGERS!

My name is Paula Hamm. I live on a hobby farm 5 miles north of Morris with my husband Eric and our 2 children, Emily and Sean. I enjoy spending time with my family, taking long walks with my dogs, and taking silly pictures of my chickens, goats, and cats!

I am a licensed teacher with a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I have worked with children for many years as a daycare provider and preschool teacher. I am excited to be teaching preschool and ECFE at Morris Area Elementary School this year!

My name is Amanda Bostrom.  I live with my husband and our two boys.  We have a yellow lab named Hazel and a cat named Mia.  I enjoy reading, coffee, camping, thrift shopping, going for walks with the dog, and spending time with my family.

I graduated from St. Cloud State University with my bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education.  I have over 12 years of experience in early childhood, recently teaching three year olds at West Central Area for the last six years. I am looking forward to a fun-filled year of teaching Pre-K at Morris!

Hello!  My name is Michele Hickman, and I am looking forward to my new adventure and role as the Early Childhood Coordinator here in the Morris Area Pre-K/ECFE program.  Over the last 12 years, I have held a variety of roles in the district including youth program coordinator, 1st grade teacher, and pre-k teacher, and now coordinator and parent educator!  I am so fortunate to work with the students, parents, and families in our community each and every day, and I am looking forward to another year of learning with you.

Outside of school, my husband Cody and I are kept busy by our four kids and two pups.  We love spending time outdoors, watching and playing sports, and spending time with our families.  Go Tigers!
