Meet Ms. Waller

I have been teaching for nine years -- two at Christ the King in Des Moines teaching middle school language arts and eight at St. Augustin. I grew up in Algona, Iowa, and attended Iowa State University where I received my degree in Elementary Education. 

What I enjoy most about teaching:  I'm thrilled to be teaching 4th grade this year! I've been enjoying getting to know each one of my students. It always touches me when students recall what we've learned together. I love hearing the excitement in my students voices when they have learned something new!

Outside of school, I enjoy: I love to spend time with my four children: Claire, Jack, Isaac, and Noah. Much of our time is spent together at sporting events or watching my daughter perform.  We travel a lot and spend quite a bit of time during the summers at our family's home on Crosslake, MN.
