All About Ms. Broxterman

Well parents and students, the summer is quickly passing by. I am very excited to get started with another year! I thought I would let you know more about your teacher!

I am from a very small town, Baileyville, where I grew up on a farm. One of my favorite things to do on the farm was to take a book out under our big tree in our front yard with a blanket. I would read like that for HOURS! We also spent our summers shucking corn, podding peas, and stemming beans. We had a huge garden! Mom and I would spend the time freezing or canning these vegetables indoors while the boys spent their day out in the field. Speaking of boys, did I tell you that I have 5 older brothers?? So girls, I know how you feel when you have an older brother picking on you!

After high school, I went to Emporia State University. GO HORNETS! I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Education in May of 2005. I started working as a first grade teacher in the Emporia District. This was the same school district that I student taught in. I then decided to move closer to my family. That's when I started working here at Silver Lake as a 3rd grade teacher! This will be my 5th year in the district! So that means I have will be starting my 6th year teaching this year!!!! This seems so hard to believe! The past three years I have also worked as the freshman volleyball coach, but I will not be resuming that position this year. Last August I finished my Masters of Arts in Education degree through Baker University. It was exciting to get back into the classroom as a student and use what we were learning in our classroom.

Well, I am very excited to meet all of you! I can't wait to hear more about you and your family and the things you enjoy the most! For now, keep reading and enjoy the beautiful Kansas weather (that is if you like all of this heat)!
