Welcome to 3rd grade!  

Education and Teaching Experience

    I have been teaching in Minneapolis since 1991 and at Bancroft since 1996. After teaching kindergarten and first grade at Bancroft 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 grew up in North Dakota, received my BA from Augsburg College and my Masters Degree in Education from St. Cloud State University.  As a "lifelong learner" I continue to engage in professional development, which has included IB training,  Responsive Classroom, science, literacy and math institutes, and lots of reading!
 

Family Life 

    I live in south Minneapolis near Lake Nokomis and enjoy walking by the lake, reading, gardening, watching movies, and hanging out with my family.  Both of my children attended Minneapolis Public Schools, graduated from South High, and are attending the University of Minnesota.
