Hello First Grade Families!
My name is Brenda Hanson, and I am so happy to be your first-grade teacher this year!
This will be my seventh year teaching first grade and my 18th year at Turtle Lake. Throughout my 24 years in the Mounds View District, I have also taught 2nd-, 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-grade. I graduated from the University of Minnesota—Duluth and received my Master of Arts Degree from Concordia University—St. Paul.
My husband, Eric, and I have two daughters. Maddie is 22 and graduated from the University of Minnesota in the spring. She works for Minneapolis Parks on its social media team. Bailey is 12 and will be an 8th grader at Chippewa this year. We also have a fun-loving dog named Bruno, who happens to be a foster fail. We fell in love with this sweetie and couldn't resist rescuing him.
As a family, we love attending sporting events, golfing, going for walks or scooter rides, and traveling when possible. I also enjoy reading, photography, art, puzzles, and playing games.
We're in for a fantastic year of learning, fun, and adventure together!
I look forward to partnering with you this year. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I will be here to support you and your child in any way possible.
