Sep 3rd Welcome Back Vikings

Hello! Welcome back Vikings. My name is Mrs. Blamer and I am in room 3 this year. I am very excited about this school year and hope that you are too! I hope you have enjoyed your summer, I sure enjoyed mine. This year I will be teaching 7th and 8th grade READ 180, 8th grade History, 8th grade Math and Enrichment. I will update my classroom blog with important info, links to helpful resources, current topics and photos of learning in progress. I truly believe that the key to success is open communication between families, students and myself. Please if at any time you would like to chat (concerns or exciting news) feel free to call me at 313-827-8649 or email me at blamerk@dearbornschools.org. Also, be sure to subscribe to our class blog at https://iblog.dearbornschools.org/blamer/.

A little bit about me. This is my 10th year as a teacher, I graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 2006 and am currently working on my master’s degree at Wayne State University. I am married to Kevin and have two amazing little girls, Courtney 4 and Kaitlin 2. In addition to my human family I have two fur babies Mya and Riley, Mya is my good dog and Riley, well let’s just say you can compare him to Marley from Marley and Me! During the summer I love spending time up north at Higgins Lake with family and friends. Some of my other favorite hobbies include running, kayaking or cycling with my girls in tow, visiting the Detroit Zoo, snowboarding, sledding, BBQs, playing outside with my munchkins and bonfires with s’mores.
