Welcome to Social Studies!
It's that time of the year again! The 2008-2009 school year is upon us and what a fantastic year it will be! I am looking forward to meeting you on the first day of school and getting to know you better. Also, I am excited to partner with your families to insure your success! It's all about teamwork.So, here's a little about me.......My name is Miss Tollefson and I just moved to Indianapolis from Florida. I was familiar with lizards in the classroom and palm trees on the playground! It wasn't too bad!:)I am really a Hoosier though! I grew up in Indianapolis and went to high school at Lawrence Central. I continued my education at Ball State University, where I received my Bachelor's degree in History.My travels then took me to the "Windy City" (Chicago). I lived there for 6 years and decided to pursue my Masters in Elementary Education and Language Arts degree from Northeastern University. I also received endorsements in middle school and social studies. During that time period, I additionally taught Pre-K at a private school and was a substitute teacher in CPS.After that, I decided to move to Fort Lauderdale, where I taught 5th grade for two years at a public school. I was also the summer reading teacher for grades 3-5 at the YMCA. However, I missed the dear people of the Midwest and wanted to return home to Indianapolis to be near my family and good friends. Go Colts!:)I am very enthusiastic to have the opportunity to teach at St. Joan of Arc. I can already feel the warmth and spirit of the school community. As the "Black Eyed Peas" would say, "Let's Get it Started!" See you soon! Miss Tollefson:)
