Hi, I am Mrs. Hippensteel. I have taught 1st grade for  23 years in CCSD. I taught pre-k in the Twin Cities, where I went to Augsburg College in Minneapolis, MN, for my undergrad. I received my Master's in Educational Technology from Lesley University. I have taken several online/blended learning courses from our district's program. I am on the school's STEM Team, and I will be running our first Lego League Team for 2nd through 4th grade this year. I love hanging out with my husband, technology, teaching, cooking, walking, tennis, shopping, Christmas, being with my family, and heading to the beach.
