Introduction	I'm 54, have been married to a great guy for 30 years, my college sweetheart. I graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN with a degree in Elementary Education and a Coaching Endorsement. I then was a graduate fellow through Winona State University and earned my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Since then I have taught in three different school districts, 8 years in 3rd grade, one year in 2nd grade, and 3 years in special education (E/BD) K-12 in a day treatment setting. I am currently teaching 6th grade. I have three lovable kids, Gabe, Ben and Lyndee and took three years leave of absence from teaching to stay at home with them. I returned to the life of working mom in September 2010. It is an adventure every day.
