Meet Miss Wood

I am so excited to be a part of the 2nd grade team at Lisbon! I can't wait to learn all about you, but first I'm going to tell you a few things about me.

I grew up outside of Oxford, Iowa on a farm. My parents, Ann and Bob, still live there today. I am the youngest of three. My brother, Ryan, is a police officer in Iowa City. My sister, Katie, is a vet tech in Oxford. Katie has a daughter named Hayden, who is four years old. She is my only niece but Katie is expecting another baby girl in November!!

I went to Clear Creek Amana High School in Tiffin. I ran track and cross country there. I graduated in 2004 and went on to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. I really enjoyed my time at Luther!! I was a part of the cross country team there. I graduated from Luther in 2008 with a major in elementary education. I then spent one year as a long term substitute in a first grade classroom in North Liberty. You will be a part of my first "official" class!!

A few of my favorites:

Favorite hobby: running 
Favorite music: country

I am so excited to be your teacher this year! See you soon!
