This is my 12th year at FSHS, and my 17th year of teaching. I am certified in both English and Special Education. I grew up on a farm North of Clay Center, Kansas. My interests and hobbies include music (I play guitar, ukulele, and sing), cooking and grilling, woodworking, and getting myself in over my head with household projects. Like most people, my family and I love to travel.

Also at Free State, I am a sponsor for Key Club and Can We Talk, I am a Link Crew Coordinator, and I serve on our school's Equity and Climate team.

COURSES TAUGHT

Integrated Studies

I share a classroom with Jennifer Culbertson, and we use Google Classroom as more of a resource hub. The code for that classroom is: 5ockfbw

We use WebEx Teams during class time for instruction and support. If you are enrolled in the class, you have been added as a member. To access the class, open you WebEx Team app on your laptop, and select the Team: "Integrated Studies: Larson/Culbertson". This is where you will attend class every day when in the online and hybrid settings, and you can also access me, Ms. Culbertson, or para support here at any time during school hours.

Communication Skills

I use Google Classroom every day in class for sharing materials, lessons, and assignments. The code is: z2dhys2

WebEx Teams is how I provide instruction and support during this class period. You will want to open it at the beginning of 2nd hour every day. If you are enrolled in the class, you have been added as a member. To access the class, open you WebEx Team app on your laptop, and select the Team: "Communication Skills".

Co-teach: Creative Writing

I co-teach this class with Amanda Frederick during 3rd hour. For information about this class, please visit Ms. Frederick's class page.
