Hello. I'm Ms. Hunt, the 7th-grade social studies teacher. I am excited to explore US History wtih our Global Arts Plus students this year. I studied History and Education at Bethel University after being inspired by my 11th grade History teacher when I was in high school. My hope is that I can help students connect the past with the present and equip them with critical thinking skills to engage their world now and in the future.

We begin 7th grade with a look at our founding documents, then make our way through the 19th and 20th centuries, tracking how well we have lived up to the promises and dreams of our foundational ideals. Students participate in History Day, a personalized, comprehensive research project that allows them to dig deep into topics of their choosing and then present their findings to the school community. 

When I am not teaching, I am often enjoying my St. Paul neighborhood, my garden, a good book, or time with my husband and three daughters.
