=Welcome to Mrs. Boehnke's Wiki page !!=

**Biography :**
I was born and raised in Aberdeen, SD. I attended the Aberdeen Public Schools, graduating from Aberdeen Central High School in 1972. I went on to Northern State University in Aberdeen, graduating in 1976 with a B.S. in Education - double majoring in Elementary Education and Special Education/Learning Disabilities. I began teaching in the Clark School System as a Title 1 teacher. After 19 years of teaching Title 1 Reading and Math, I was blessed with a classroom. In the fall of 1997, I began teaching 3rd grade, and continued in that capacity for 5 years. After that, I taught 2nd grade for 3 years. My next assignment was teaching at Fordham Colony. This year, I'll begin my 5th year at Fordham. Teaching in a colony has been very rewarding. Having all the grades can be challenging, but peer assistance and help from older colony girls helps a lot.

I have been married for 25 years to Arlen Boehnke. We live on a farm NE of Henry, SD. We have 2 children : John and Stephanie. John is pursuing a Masters' Degree in Exercise Science at SDSU, graduating in May, 2010. Stephanie is a Junior at USD, pursuing a Biology Major/Psychology Minor. She hopes to be accepted to medical school at USD after graduation, and plans on becoming a pediatrician. I can't forget to mention my other "babies" - my dog, Gunther, and all my cats !!
