Meet Mrs. Anklam!

Welcome second graders and families!  I am very excited to start the school year and get to know each and every one of you!  Before I get to know you better, here are 10 things you can learn about me...

1. I grew up in the small town of Winnebago, Illinois.  
2. While I only have one younger brother, Michael, I come from a VERY big family.  I have many aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Whenever I can, I go back to Winnebago to visit everyone!
3.  My family has two dogs, Max and Jackson.  They are very funny and sweet.  I love to visit them at my mom's house.
