My name is Elin Ruscher and I am so excited to be apart of the 2nd-grade team at Highcroft! I earned my BA in Elementary and K-12 Special Education from Western Governors University and I have a MS in Curriculum and Instruction. I have worked in special education for many years but love teaching 2nd grade! My family and I are originally from Minnesota and made the move to North Carolina just over 6 years ago. We love the warmer weather and not freezing in the winter!
I love being in the classroom and being able to engage students in learning! Each child is capable of learning and growing and I look forward to helping your child achieve their potential in 2nd grade. I believe each student is a contributor to our classroom and together we will explore, engage in hands-on activities, and have a great year! I love reading and going on adventures with the characters in a story - I can't wait to share my love for reading!
I have 2 teenagers who amaze me every day! My son is in college and my daughter is in high school and loves theater arts and music. Our family loves to cook, bake, play games, and travel to new places.
