WELCOME TO THIRD GRADE!

I’m so excited to be your child’s 3rd grade teacher this year! This is my 3rd year teaching 3rd grade at BIS, and I bring 19 years of teaching experience—plus a big love for this age group and a passion for inspiring a lifelong love of learning.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy nature, camping, hiking, baking, yoga, and time with my family, friends, and furry pets. In our classroom, we’ll work hard, set goals, do our best, and make plenty of time to laugh, support each other, and discover the joy of learning together.

Warmly,

Wendy Benne

This is your safe place to grow, to dream, and to become the amazing person you were meant to be.
