Welcome to Washington!  I'm Ms. Parker and I love math!  I've been teaching here in SPPS for the past 14 years and have taught everything from basic skills to AP calculus. 

I grew up in the Chicago-land area, graduated from h.s. and went to Iowa State University.  At ISU, I earned a B.S. in mathematics in 1986.  I taught for a few years and then moved up here to Minneapolis--I love winter and snow and skating, skiing, playing broomball, etc.  Went back to school and earned an A.S. in medical

laboratory technology in 1992.   I worked at HCMC for a number of years and eventually found my way back to teaching math here in the SPPS!  In 2004, I began my masters degree back at ISU and finished with an M.S.M. in August 2006. 

I have a cat named Spike.  She's a fluffy little princess.  Spike was a stray cat that lived under a friend's front porch.  I took her in and kept the name they had given her.  She loves her little catnip mouse.  This summer I adpoted a kitten, Moe, who is quite the

little terror!  I figure he's about 14 years old in kitty years.  Spike is NOT sure she likes having this stinky boy around!  :)

 

This summer I was lucky enough to go to London to see the Olympics.  I got to see badminton matches, and field hockey, too.  It was a great trip!

This year at Washington, I am teaching Trigonometry, GRAD Math Support, and AVID 9th and 10th classes.  Ms. K. Casper and I are also prom advisors again!  We can't wait until 2013 PROM!!
