Welcome!
This is my fifth year teaching at Capitol Hill
and I am thrilled to be back in the classroom after a fantastic
summer!
Last year, I successfully presented at the
National Council of Teachers in Mathematics
(NCTM) Conference in March. The conference was in
Atlanta, Georgia. I also successfully completed my Master of Education Degree from the University of Minnesota!
More about me:
I graduated from the
University of Minnesota Institute of Technology in 2002 with a Bachelor
of Science Degree in Mathematics. While attending school, I taught a
college algebra course for the U of M General College. I also worked as
a teaching assistant for the University of Minnesota Talented Youth
Mathematics Program (UMTYMP). For two summers, I taught at a math camp
called Summer Explorations in Science, Engineering and Mathematics
(SESEM). I would be more than happy to explain more about these great
programs. If you are at all interested in getting more information,
please contact me.
Immediately
after completing my undergraduate
degree, I then started my Master's Degree in Education also at the
University of Minnesota and received my teaching certificate for 5-12
mathematics. In 2002-2003, I taught at Patrick Henry High School in
Minneapolis. It is wonderful to have landed at Capitol Hill. As I
said before, I just finished my master's degree last year! Sweet!!
Hobbies:
When I am not correcting homework and trying to keep the parent
portal grades updated, I
enjoy playing softball and singing. I had a great summer jammin'
with my band and relaxing on the beautiful deck that my husband Josh and I built last summer.

Daily Sudoku
Caution: Very addicting puzzle following this message!
Daily Sudoku is something that I discovered a few summers ago and
I haven't been able to stop doing them. They can be very fun and
very challenging. I will be giving students the opportunity to do
some in math class throughout the year. Try one out, but be
careful. It will be very hard to stop:) Don't say that I didn't warn you!
There is only one rule: Every row, column and box of 3x3 cells must contain the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once.
