Something About Mary
 Wow!  This is my tenth year at Barton and my seventeenth year as a teacher in Minneapolis Public Schools.  I was at Four Winds Native American School for seven years before Barton.  I taught for two years in a private school before working in the district.  Almost all of my years of teaching have been with glorious fifth and sixth graders who are at the portal of adolescence.  It is an age that I love!

I seem to add another degree every ten years or so.  I began with an elementary degree, followed by a French degree, both earned at the University of Minnesota.  Five years ago I earned a masters in curriculum and instruction from the University of St.Thomas.  Lately, I have been thinking about an ELL program at Hamline.

I have a husband and a son and daughter, both adopted from Korea.  My children are both attending the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.  My husband and I are home alone with our cat Sophie and dog Gabe.  My passion is my horse Max (who does not live with us). Check out the photos below.
