Summer Mind Games: Logic Puzzles and Brain Busting Board Games - Gr. 3-6

My name is Brenna Lavalier-Kortenkamp (Mrs. Lava-kamp) and I am a STEM teacher at Pinewood Elementary in the Monticello School District. I currently reside in Big Lake with my husband and three children. I attended and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse with a degree in Elementary and Middle Level Education, Grades 1-8, with a minor in Broadfield Social Studies. I completed my Masters Degree in Teaching and Learning from Saint Mary’s University and completed a National Certificate for STEM Teaching last summer. During my twenty-plus years of teaching, I have taught second through fifth grades, spent a year as an intervention specialist and am now loving the many opportunities of collaboration, critical thinking and creativity students in STEM are able to explore.
