Our PreK Teachers are Mrs. Matzke and Ms. Amirahmadi
From Mrs. Matzke:
Hello! My name is Mrs. Matzke.
I have been teaching in the St. Paul district since 2007. Along with teaching pre-k at Groveland I have also taught pre-k at Randolph Heights and 6th grade at Como Park. I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education and early childhood education at Winona State University in 2006, and completed my master's degree in Autism Spectrum Disorders in 2015.
I love the energy and enthusiasm that 4 and 5 year olds bring into the classroom and believe that students learn best when provided fun, unique, and hands on experiences. My goal is to make your child's first school experience a great one!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
