Welcome!

Welcome to second grade!

My name is Melissa Bolanda and I teach second grade at Mosinee Elementary School. I graduated from the University of Minnesota-Mankato with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. I received a Master's Degree in Education from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. I've taught first through fifth grade in the Wausau School District for 15 years and then I began teaching 2nd grade at Mosinee Elementary in 2017. I am married and have 3 grown sons who are studying at three different Wisconsin Universities. When I am not at school, I enjoy traveling, fishing, baking and reading.

Teaching is my passion! There is nothing like getting to know learners and helping them to learn their strengths and overcome obstacles. With the help of the learners in our classroom, I strive to create a learning environment where all learners can feel successful.
