all about your teacher - Mrs. lutz (Formally ms. bates)
I grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa my whole life. I was a student/athlete at Bettendorf High School, home of the Bulldogs! I played volleyball, basketball, softball and ran track. Even in high school, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher.
I got a scholarship to the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) where I played volleyball and basketball. I also started coaching basketball and volleyball at Cedar Falls High School while I was getting my degree. I have been coaching since 2002.
After four years at UNI, I graduated with a degree in Secondary Education. I moved to Kansas City and did my student teaching in Law and Government at Leavenworth High School (Kansas). I worked and coached in that district for a few years before coming to Tonganoxie.
I have taught 6th grade Technology Studies since 2009/2010 school year. I have coached both basketball and volleyball for Tonganoxie but currently I am the 9th grade volleyball coach at the high school.
As for my personal life. I have two boys Carter (5) and Bode (1). My husband is Justin and we got married on 10-10-15. We also have two dogs; Riley (rescue mutt) and Sam (German Shepherd). We live in Kansas City and enjoy a very active lifestyle. The boys (both two and four-legged) keep us very busy! In my free time….wait what’s free time?? I enjoy working out, playing outside, working on the house, reading and watching movies.
6th Grade Curriculum
As a 6th grader at TMS, you will have Technology Studies for the entire year. We will spend the school year working on our keyboarding skills, learning about PowerPoint, Publisher and Word. We will also explore the positive role of "technology" and what it has to offer.
