I look forward to seeing you on MONDAY, AUGUST 15!
This will be an opportunity for your child to talk to me, see our classroom, pick out their desk, bring their supplies to school, and get their school picture. (so please wear your school uniform for the picture)

| Please put your name or initials on your supplies. |
Please label your child's supplies with his or her name or initials. You DO NOT need to labels pencils or dry erase markers as I will collect all them at the beginning of school and we will share them throughout the year.

Hi, I have been teaching on and off for 22 years. I taught for 3 years then took 10 years off while my three girls were young. I have taught many grades including 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, and PDO. This is my 7th year in First Grade. I love First Grade and all the exploring, learning, growing, and fun we get to have!
I actually attended Zion 1-8, graduated from Lutheran High St. Charles, and earned a BA in Elementary Education at Concordia, Chicago. I have a minor in Biology and I love to teach Science. Although, I could teach reading all day. I love helping students become better readers and watch them begin to love reading. I also love art and teach students to appreciate art as well as master different techniques.
My passion is teaching and I love what I do. I want my students to know the love of Jesus and I try to share that love with them every second that they are in my room. I see each child as a special creation of God and try to treat them in a way that I would want my own daughters to be treated. I try to have fun in my classroom and I want my students have fun as they learn and to have a thirst for knowledge.
I grew up here in St. Charles and I am blessed to have my parents, sister and her family, and in-laws all living close by. My sister is Mrs. Hoehner, she is also a teacher at Zion.
My husband, Jon, is the principal at Lutheran High School, St. Charles. I have three daughters. Hannah, my oldest, is a Sophomore at the University of Evansville in Indiana majoring in Athletic Training and Physical Therapy. Grace, is a Senior at Lutheran High School, she plans to go to Concordia University and major in Early Childhood and Special Education, she will also play softball in college. Maddie is my youngest and she is Sophomore at Lutheran High School. She loves reading and writing and is involved with many clubs and softball.
In my free time I enjoy watching my daughters play sports, baking and cooking, and reading.
