Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to third grade! My name is Mrs. Linkert and I am so excited to be teaching third grade at Governor Wolf this year! I can’t wait to meet all of my students and learn about all of their interests. I am sure you are curious about me as well. Let me tell you a bit about myself.
I was born in Bethlehem and have lived here my entire life. When I was younger, I was also a student in BASD. I have earned a Bachelors’s in Elementary Education as well as a Master’s degree. I have a son named Isaac and many pets at home. My favorite subject to learn about is math, but my favorite subject to teach is science.
I am looking forward to beginning this school year with you!
~Mrs. Linkert
