Hello! I am Mrs. Voss, one of Erin Elementary’s fifth grade teachers. I graduated from University of Wisconsin – Whitewater in December of 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Communication Sciences and Disorders. This school year will be my third year teaching at Erin, but will be my fifth year teaching fifth grade. I absolutely love teaching at Erin because of how close the community is. I am constantly inspired by everyone’s dedication to each and every student’s education both within and outside of the school.

I grew up in West Bend and graduated from West Bend East High School in 2013. Growing up I always loved teaching my peers and others around me new things. I also had many experiences with teachers that inspired me to want to be a teacher to future students like me. I get so much joy out of building positive relationships and seeing my students learn and discover new things when they are in my classroom.

A fun fact about me is I have two dogs that I am obsessed with. I have a four-year-old Goldendoodle named Piper, and a one-year-old puppy named Oakley who is a Great Pyrenees Mix that my husband and I adopted last year. We love to take them for walks every night, and spoil them with the occasional pupaccino! In my free time I also like to read books, especially mysteries, and spend time with friends and family outdoors. We are also expecting our first baby this school year! Fall is my favorite time of year, not only because it is the start of school and I get to meet my new students, but I love the cooler weather.

This year in fifth grade we are going to do so many fun things! We will learn about Latin America, read interesting books, go on field trips (my personal favorite is to JA Biztown!), learn new math skills, etc. We will create an inviting classroom that allows all students to share their thoughts and ideas during our lessons, and work as a team to learn new things! In my classroom everyone is expected to be respectful in order to create a positive learning environment that everyone wants to come to each and every day.
