I am Ms. Talkalai, a 5th grade teacher at Lincoln. This is my ninth year as a fifth grade teacher in St. Cloud, 10th year in the district, and my 18th year teaching. I live in St. Cloud with my family and I am a St. Cloud Tech and St. Cloud State graduate. I obtained my Master's degree in Differentiation from Concordia University, St. Paul.
Lincoln is a very special place to learn and grow. We have amazing students and a very supportive staff. Health and safety are our priority, and we will take care to maintain healthy habits throughout the year.
I am happy to support you and your child any way I can and encourage you to be actively involved in your child's education. Technology is a great tool for enhancing learning and our kiddos are drawn to it. Make the most of your child's innate interest in supporting the use of educational technology at home in a safe and actively monitored space. Your child will be more motivated to complete their learning work if you check in with them and regularly look at their Seesaw work. Be sure to check out the collection of online resources linked to my page. I can be contacted using the information below.
