Hi! My name is Brandi Pottle. I am one of the fifth-grade teachers. I’ve been teaching in St. Paul since 2000, and have had the privilege of teaching most of those years at Maxfield Elementary School. 

I am passionate about building positive relationships with the students I teach and learn from. When the relationships and community expectations are established, academics fall right into place.

Our classroom community can expect to have reading and math homework Monday and Wednesday. The skills/concepts learned in class carry over to their homework. I’ll also send a weekly update home on Thursdays, so families are informed about the Happenings in Community 2103.

Some fun facts about me: I have a 29 year-old son, Michael. My husband,Robb Pottle, is a Phy-Ed teacher at a nearby school. He and I have a 9 year-old daughter, Lydia and a 4 year-old son, Robbie. I have 3 siblings: Bree, Brooke (my identical twin!), and Roy. We grew up in St. Paul. I enjoy running, biking, and playing softball, but love traveling and spending time with my family.

I look forward to being partners in education with my Maxfield families.
