•  Welcome to our Classroom Website!
     
     It is my joy to be in my 14th year of teaching English in Anoka-Hennepin. I have taught both 7th and 8th grade Language Arts, and have been at Oak View for my entire career. I earned my Bachelors of Literature and Bachelors of Communication Arts and Literature Education from Bethel University. My Master's in Teaching and Learning was earned through St. Mary's University, and I have done additional course-work through Hamline University and Colorado State. I love learning! 
     
    Thank you for supporting your student's education, I am excited to work with your child and help facilitate their growth. Together we can help your child achieve success! 
     
    * On the 'Agenda' links below you will be able to access daily agendas, homework information and links to things provided in class
    Directly below, you will find links to important documents that students use/reference all year long.  
    Additionally, your child will have access to these things in their Google Classroom.
