We send a weekly math homework (2-sided) on Monday, which is due Friday.  We print a few extras and keep them in the homework bin on our classroom door in case of a periodic lost homework.  :)  If your child is not successful getting it home in one piece, there is a link above in case of EMERGENCY on Thursday night! ~ Thanks, Ms. Liepitz & Ms. Zeltinger

Please sign up for ONE time slot. We will share student success and goal setting for all subjects. No need to sign up for a conference with their block 2 teacher.  We encourage students to attend their conference with you as they will help lead the discussion.

I have been teaching for 23 years in the Minneapolis Public Schools in various positions including: Mentor teacher, classroom (K, 4), G/T resource (K-3), and reading coach.  This is my tenth year at Lake Harriet Upper.  This year, I am excited to transition to a new role at BOTH Lower and Upper campus.  I will be the half time Differentiation Specialist at Lower and half time 4th grade teacher at Upper.  My personal interests include traveling, math, reading, singing, architecture, art and music.  I am also a proud member of the staff band, the Team Players.  I grew up in SW Minneapolis and attended MPS.  I graduated with a BA in Elementary Education from Gustavus Adolphus College and an MAEd specializing in Urban/ESL strategies from Hamline University.  I live with my husband and two daughters (3rd and 6th graders) in SW Minneapolis very close to where I grew up.  I'm excited to meet you!

We are a TEAM, so please email our joint email account each time.  We do NOT have an active voicemail account.  If you have an urgent request please call the main office and they will get us the message 612-668-3310.  We will check email daily before school and between 12:30-1:30pm.  Thank you!

Dear Parents,

We cannot teach responsibility without giving responsibility to our students.  I am excited to tell you about an important initiative in our classroom in which we will create our own organic mini society (Micro for short) during our homeroom time three days per week.  I have been teaching this program for the past 9 years and implemented a mini-society with great success for the past 6 years at Lake Harriet.  Ms. Jorde joined me with the program last year and will continue this year as well.  We will first establish a class government, then slowly launch more micro jobs within ventures and agencies.  This micro program will motivate students, teach vital hands-on social studies, mathematics and communication skills, and link learning to real life applications.   Students will not forget their experiences for years to come!
