River Falls, WI | 2012
Why SMU? I just fell in love with the campus, the volleyball team, and Winona. Something cool I’ve already done? Observing in two kindergarten classrooms to prep for student teaching second through fourth grades. Where I’m headed? To becoming an unforgettable teacher, coach, and mentor.

Start of Student Teaching :)
January 20, 2012
The time has finally come that I am student teaching!!!! I have been placed in a 5th grade classroom in the Winona Middle School. My cooperating teacher is pretty young, very energetic, and relates very well with the students. I always had pictured myself with a younger classroom, but my 5th graders already have my … More >
Tutoring
January 5, 2012
If you are interested in going into the education field, it is very important to start working with kids. A lot of my classmates have had nanny jobs over the summers, babysit, or work at summer camps. This past summer, I wanted to get more practice with teaching, so I thought it would be beneficial … More >
Helping Out!
December 23, 2011
On the Wednesday and Thursday right after coming home from break, I spent some time in my old elementary school observing and helping out in a fourth-grade classroom. My mother was actually long-term subbing in that classroom, and it was fun teaching with her. Because it was right before break, the students were very antsy … More >
Finals Time

Oh my gosh I cannot believe it is already Finals Week, and that we will all be going home on Tuesday! Where did the time go? I have six finals this semester, which is more than I have ever had any other semester here at Saint Mary’s. I have had one on Friday, two on … More >
CAC Christmas Party
December 13, 2011
So one of the organizations I am a part of on campus is called CAC, or the Cardinal Athletic Council. It is comprised of at least two student-athlete representatives from each of the D III collegiate teams on campus. We meet every other week to discuss items that are pertinent to the student-athlete, how we … More >
Crunch Time
December 10, 2011
With only a couple days left of school before finals, it is crunch time! So many professors have projects or papers due. This means that for the next week or so, all I will be doing is homework and studying! BUT, once this is all over, we have our Christmas Break and we will be … More >
You Know You’re a Teacher When…
November 29, 2011
I found this passage from online from Jeff Foxworthy. I got a kick out of it and I hope you do too. If this characterizes you, chances are that teaching is right for you! You get a secret thrill out of laminating things. You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one … More >
Privet!! (Latvian for hello!)
November 29, 2011
One of most awesome experiences from this Latvian camp was how “at home” our students and the staff at our school made us feel. Their hospitality began as soon as we left the airport. We actually landed in Vilnius, Lithuania and then drove to Daugavpils, Latvia because it was a shorter drive than to fly … More >
Latvian Experience Part II
November 20, 2011
I was one of ten teachers on the trip as well as three high school students from Somerset, WI to help out throughout the camp. What made our group so much fun is that we all got along so well and went on a lot of adventures on the weekend or after class was done … More >
