Welcome to Third Grade!  

My name is Mrs. Schminski (many of you remember me as Ms. Durovec). This summer I graduated from the College of St. Scholastica with my Masters in Elementary Education and also completed my K-12 reading license. This is my sixth year teaching in Braham and I am so proud to be a Bomber!    
My focus in the classroom is to create a safe and fun learning environment for all students.  We do a lot of hands on activities if it is a science experiment, a math project, or doing Daily 5 in our classroom.  There are times we are working in groups, partners, and individually as well.  My goal is for all students to reach their highest ability while still having fun.   I love reading and our class will become a community of readers.
Besides teaching I enjoy reading, hiking, traveling, playing sports, and spending time with my family, friends, and dog.  
        Let's have an awesome year!
