ABOUT MRS. PALLANSCH

Hello! I'm Mrs. Pallansch and this will be my 31st year teaching at Turtle Lake.  I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade; 4th grade being my favorite.  

I live in Maple Grove. My husband, Mark, and I have three daughters: Marie, Corrin, and Gretchen.  We also have a 16 year old black poodle named Prince. 

I love spending time with my family and friends at the cabin, watching my daughter play softball, playing golf, traveling, and I have just started to learn how to play pickleball. 

I love to teach, and I truly enjoy coming to work every day to work with the students.  My goal  is to establish a fun, caring, and safe learning environment  for every student in our class.  I would like each student to demonstrate concern, respect, and empathy for all of their classmates and for themselves.   Motivating students to do their personal best is my top priority.  I want them to love coming to school and leave each day with more knowledge than when they arrived.  I want them to  ask questions when they don’t understand; even when it feels uncomfortable. Mistakes are welcome in our classroom. We will celebrate what we learn from mistakes as well as all our successes.   We are TEAM PALLANSCH,  and it's going to be great year!
