Welcome to our classroom! My name is Mrs. Niemeyer and I am so thrilled to be a teacher! I want to know ALL about you, but first I'm going to tell you a few things about me. I was born and raised in Wyoming. I am from a family of teachers. My younger brother teaches 8th grade history. My mom is a literacy coordinator, a coach for teachers, and my dad just retired after 49 years in education. I love them!
I went to college at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln. Go Huskers! I have a Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis in early reading. I have taught in Billings for 12 years. In those years, I have taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, Reading Recovery, and I have been a Math Instructional Coach for teachers. I am so excited to be at Eagle Cliffs.
I am married to a wonderful man, Travis. He is the principal at Newman Elementary. We have two amazing kids. My oldest, Layne, is a student at Eagle Cliffs. He is giving me an all new perspective on teaching primary grades. My daughter, Jensen, is a spunky four.
It will be a fabulous year of learning and growing. Our classroom has the unique opportunity to learn with 21st century tools. Thanks to grants, the Billings Education Foundation, and a generous donor named Mr. Wardell students in our classroom each have their own ipad loaded with a number of learning apps. Further we have a classroom audio system, an interactive whiteboard, and classroom computers. To learn more about our technology journey and how the tools enhance learning, watch this short video made about our classroom.
