Hello, my name is Ms. Linda Funmaker.
I have a BS degree in English from the University of Minnesota and my teaching license from Augsburg College. I got my preschool certification from Concordia College. I have six children of my own and two granddaughters (5 & 6). I live in Minneapolis and my children have all gone through the Minneapolis Public Schools.
I have taught High Five in three other schools. I also was a Reading Resource teacher, PreK-2, at Lucy Laney, helping students with basic literacy skills.
I believe children have the ability to engage in learning when they feel comfortable and safe. I also believe in teaching in a wide variety of ways in order to reach children with different learning styles. My goal is for children to have a positive first school experience so they are excited about continuing learning in school.
Please call if you have concerns or thoughts about your child. I also welcome parents and guardians to visit my classroom!
