Welcome to Fourth Grade at Capitol Hill!

I am excited to get to know all of you! This will be my second year at Capitol Hill. Last year I taught third grade, so I know many of you already! We have an eventful year ahead of us!

This is my 22^nd year of teaching. I have been teaching in Saint Paul since 2002. I have taught at Jackson, Como Park, and Crossroads. Before teaching in Saint Paul, I taught in Minneapolis Public Schools. I earned undergraduate degree in art history from The University of Iowa, and my graduate degree from Hunter College in New York City.

I live in Minneapolis, where I spend a lot of time walking and biking around the lakes. In my free time, I practice yoga, cook good meals, travel, read, and knit.

I will keep our website up to date with what is happening in our class. Spelling list and other assignments will be posted regularly. I hope that you find this a helpful resource. Please feel free to give me feedback and suggestions!

I look forward to a wonderful year!
