Hello, My name is Mr. Holmboe.  I have been teaching in Minneapolis public schools for 11 years.  I graduated from the University of Minnesota Teacher program. In 2008 and completed my Masters’s degree in Educations in 2012.   In my own teaching, I work to create a calm and hardworking classroom.  I do this by having a calm presence and spending time teaching the students what it means to work hard and how to work with others.  Every year, my students and I meditated each day.  Meditation is a strategy that travels with the students long after they have left my classroom.  My classroom expectations are enforced with a growth mindset, each day students begin again. 

Below is the current specialist schedule and link for this quarter.  I will update it when it changes. Your student can attend the live session or the video lesson.  They do have to go to each specialist once a week.
