Welcome to 5th grade, Wildcats ! My name is Braxton Larsen, and I'm looking forward to continuing my journey at Wheeler Elementary. I cannot wait to meet everyone! 

I graduated from Creighton University with a bachelor's degree in elementary education with an emphasis on reading/writing. Quickly after graduating, I started teaching 5th grade and later moved to teaching ELA classes for 5th and 6th graders. The upcoming school year marks my 5th year of teaching. 

I grew up in southwest Iowa and was born into a family of teachers! I love spending time with my parents, sister, and two nephews. We enjoy going on family vacations throughout the year. While not in the classroom, I also enjoy spending time with my friends, reading new books, and trying new local restaurants. 

I hope to have an amazing year with you! 

Mr. Larsen
