Hello!

My name is Anna Gustafson and I am an E2 teacher at Crossroads Montessori.  I have been teaching at Crossroads since 2016.

I am a graduate of Concordia University, St. Paul.  In 2011, I recieved my Bachelor's of Arts in Elementary Education.  I am licensed in elementary and pre-primary education.  In addition, I'm Montessori trained in E1 and E2 through  Midwest Montessori Teacher Training Center in Illinois.

Teaching is my passion.  I have worked with children in some way beginning in middle school and I haven't stopped.  I spent 5 years teaching in an IB (International Baccalaureate) school before falling in love with the Montessori method.  

Outside of work I spend my time working on my house, walking and hiking, indoor climbing, kyaking, reading, sewing, gardening and painting. In addition, I love spending quality time with my family and friends at home and up north. I feel most at home out in nature.

Some of My Favorites:

Food-pizza

Color-blue and green (I just can't pick one)

Drink-coffee

Candy-pretty much anything with dark chocolate

Sport-Hockey (Go Wild!)
