ALL+ABOUT+ME

Hi, my name is Kim Wahl. I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade!

I grew up in a small town in North Dakota. Well for North Dakota it was actually a big town. It had approx. 14,000-15,000 people. Most of my family is still in N.D. or Minnesota. Only a few of us wandered away. I have 2 older brothers. My oldest brother lives near Minneapolis and has published a few books but recently started back to school to get a teaching degree. His goal is to be a college professor in philosophy or something in that related area. My other brother is a police office in Fargo. My parents are both retired and recently moved to Fargo. I have 3 kids. Malcom is 12 years old and Isabella and Olivia are 10 year old twins.

We love to do sports and outdoor activities. Our favorites are swimming, picnics and hiking in the mountains. Sometimes we can do all 3 in one trip. I also LOVE to read. I can spend hours at a library or book store.

My first round of college was at North Dakota State University in Fargo. I earned a B.S. in Sociology/Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology. After graduation, I started working in the accounting field. A few years ago I realized how much I would love to be a teacher. I started back to school at Metro State the summer of 2010. I realized quickly that I loved teaching.

I haven't traveled much. I went to Canada a lot when I was younger. I dream of going to places such as Italy, Greece, Australia, and Japan.

I can’t wait to get to know all the students in my class. We are going to have a great school year!
