Introduction I am very excited to be starting this new chapter of my life. This is my first year at Ramsey Junior High. I am an English teacher who is married to a St. Paul Math teacher. (He works at Murray Junior High.) I started teaching at Murray myself in 1995 after receiving my degree from Bethel University and I worked there up until the spring of 2009. I have a B.A. in Language Arts Secondary Education as well as a minor in writing. A few years ago, I returned to Bethel to get my Master's Degree in Education. After meeting at our church, my husband and I were married in 1998. In January of 2003, we received a wonderful gift when our daughter, Jordan Ruth, was born. At this point, she is a very bright, artistic 6 year old girl who likes to sing songs and will be in first grade this year. Her most interesting feature is that she has a whole head of reddish brown hair. (We call her Butters.) In October of 2004, we welcomed Toby Jacob to our family and he is an extremely friendly 4 year old who is now in pre-school. His most interesting feature is that he has the sweetest smile. In October of 2007, Honor Luke joined our family. He is an extremely charming 18 month old who likes to play with his trains, cars, tractors, and diggers on the floor in our living room. I come from a family of teachers. My dad is a retired St. Paul Math teacher and my mom used to teach pre-school. My grandma taught in a one room schoolhouse. My sister used to teach English in Brooklyn Center. My brother went against the grain and became a doctor. At this point in time, my husband and I have been married for 10 years. Right now, we are both back in school at Bethel Seminary. Outside of working on our homework, we love reading, going out to eat, going to Duluth and hanging out on our driveway watching our kids play. Our favorite thing is when students want to have our whole family over for dinner. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. Please feel free to call me at 651-293-8860 ext. 1210 or email me at anne.becvar@spps.org.
