I am so excited to be joining your child on his or her journey through seventh and eighth grade. My name is Ms. Brockhaus, and I will be your child’s math teacher for the 2012-2013 school year. |
|
I have been teaching at Dell Rapids Middle School for the past five years. I have been also given the opportunity to coach the middle school cheerleaders along with middle school quiz bowl. I am pleased to be back again and can not wait to get to know you and your student on a more personal level. |

Prior to teaching in Dell Rapids, I taught at St. Mary's
Catholic school in Pine City, MN. I taught a combined classroom which
contained both fifth and sixth grade students along with teaching first
through sixth grade Spanish. I was also actively involved in the
athletic programs at Pine City High School. I coached both high school
volleyball and middle/elementary school softball. Prior to teaching in
Pine City, I taught first grade at Higher Ground Academy, a K-12
Afro-Centric Charter School. |

I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education from Northern State University. Along with my bachelors’ degree, I obtained several endorsements such as middle school math and language arts and also a coaching endorsement. |
| My philosophy for learning is that each child is unique, and each child learns in a different way. One of my jobs as a teacher is to help your child discover his or her individuality and work alongside him or her to maximize it. I believe in hands-on experiences and learning creatively and look forward to finishing this year with fun–filled and educational activities! |
