It's great to be here with the AmeriCorps team. This is my first year with the Reading Corps and I am working at the very school I graduated from many, many years ago. I love cooking, gardening, the theatre and of course, reading. I can't wait to start working with students. ]]> 2021-09-07 22:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1723047958 https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1723132119 Hello! So excited to be part of this amazing program! This is my first year at Roosevelt Elementary in Faribault. Fun facts - I have 3 teenagers :) an Old English sheep dog named Allie and a cat (Frankie) and soon - a new kitten who we are rescuing this week! He was found in the bushes at our local Subway. I love the beach, nature, wildlife, and being on the water! ]]> 2021-09-07 23:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1723132119 https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1725000863 Hello All! It is great to part of the AmeriCorps team once again this year.  This is my fourth year serving with Math Corps.  I serve in the New Ulm Middle school to grades 5-8.  The school I am serving in used to be the senior high so it is the school I officially graduated from.  A fun fact is I married my Brother's best friend and they are still best friends to this day.  I live with my Husband, and two cats, which are quite entertaining. I like diamond painting, coloring, being outdoors, playing with my cats, spending time with my Husband, Math, and reading.]]> 2021-09-08 14:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1725000863 jbunn9 https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1725876697 Hi!!! I am so happy to be back with Reading Corps this year. This is my 3rd yr. at Lincoln Elementary in Owatonna. I have two boys. Tristin is 10 and a 5th grader. Tyrel is 7 and a 2nd grader. Tristin was recently diagnosed with autism, so that is something we are to work with and come up with ways to help him in school.]]> 2021-09-08 19:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1725876697 virgiesbills https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1811445424 Hello! I am so excited to be here at Washington Learning Center in New Ulm again.  I started last year in January and was so thrilled to be able to come back for this school year.  I have 2 grown children that live in New Ulm but I still don't see them very often. Sigh!  But my 2 cats keep me company.  I love cats, books, and tea.  I feel those all go together quite well.  My email address is virgiesbills@gmail.com. I would love to connect with any of you so feel free to message me. ]]> 2021-10-12 16:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1811445424 aknighten2 https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1814774458 Hello! I’m so excited to be doing Reading Corps for my second year! I am a tutor at Bridgewater Elementary in Northfield. Outside of school, I also foster cats. My photo features Cupid, my current foster. For fun I like to read, hike, and spend time with friends! I’ve also recently been trying to bake some new ~fall~ themed recipes. I’m planning to make caramel-apple turnovers this week!]]> 2021-10-13 17:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1814774458 https://padlet.com/aprilstensgaard/southernmembers/wish/1818520756 Hi, I’m Shirley Hanneman and this is my first year in Americorps.
