Welcome to 3rd grade!  

I have been teaching at Bancroft since 1996.   I received my BA from Augsburg College and my Masters Degree in Education from St. Cloud State University. After teaching kindergarten and first grade for many years, I moved to 3rd grade and I love it!  In third grade we have fascinating units of inquiry to explore, math to challenge us and lots of books to read. I love that 3rd graders are workiing to become independent learners.

I live in south Minneapolis near Lake Nokomis and enjoy walking by the lake, reading, gardening, and hanging out with my family.  Both of my children attended & graduated from Minneapolis Public Schools.

My goal is to build a classroom community in which each student feels welcome, encouraged, and able to develop confidence in their abilities, make good friends and grow as a learner.  Our door is open and we  welcome family and community members to come join us anytime!
