Welcome to 4^th Grade! My name is Ms. Wynia.  I grew up in the small town of Luverne, Minnesota.  I went to Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, where I swam competitively for 3 years. I graduated with an Elementary Education degree and a coaching certificate.  I substitute taught in New York for 6 months and moved to California last September.  You may remember me as the long-term substitute science teacher for Mrs. Slevin from September through February last year.  After leaving St. Martin, I assisted 3^rd grade at St. Victor in San Jose and now return to St. Martin as your fourth grade teacher. I have wanted to teach my whole life, and I am excited for the year ahead of us.  I look forward to helping your child grow not only academically but spiritually as well.  I strive to work with both students and parents to make this a successful school year.
