Hi!

My name is Myka Walljasper and I am so excited to join the Orion School District this year. I come with 7 years of teaching experience (all in 5th grade).  I became a teacher to encourage students to be themselves, persevere, and realize they can do hard things. Being a teacher is my way of impacting the world. 

I attended Black Hawk College and Western Illinois University. My degree is in Elementary Education with an endorsement in middle school language arts and social studies.  I plan to further my education in the near future with a masters degree. One is never done learning! 

My favorite books are the Harry Potter series (you might be able to tell from my classroom!) The 4th book (Goblet of Fire) is my favorite.  I am not a huge fan of the movies, but am looking forward to the series that is coming out.  My Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw. 

Some random facts about me: My favorite color is purple. My favorite food is anything Mexican. My favorite place to shop is Goodwill. I love anything sparkly. I love to wear bows in my hair. 

I am honored to teach in the Orion School District.  Please contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. We all want what is best for your student (s).
