Welcome to Mrs. Fischer's First Grade Page!

This is my 9th year teaching at IHM. I have also been employed as a public school teacher, substitute teacher and as a resource aide. I was fortunate to also spend many years as a full-time mom.

I grew up in a small farming community in southwestern Indiana. I graduated from Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana and received my B. A. Elementary Education in 1995 with a concentration in Special Education. I am currently enrolled at Georgetown College to complete my MS degree.  I am the IHM PLC team leader for 2nd and 3rd grades. I have also had the privilege of attending a seminar on creating Professional Learning Communities in the Catholic Schools as part of the Catholic Schools Initiative at Xavier University the last three years. My husband, Brian, and I have been members of IHM since 2001. I have 3 children-Olivia, Adam, and Anna.

My hobbies are singing, attending plays, watching Indianapolis Colts football, and reading! I am a member of the IHM choir and I have volunteered as a vocal coach for the IHM Jr. High musical. I teach because I love kids and the challenge of helping each child to reach his or her full potential. All of the “greats” in other professions began as students with great teachers! I feel so blessed to be part of the IHM community!

My hope is that my students become faithful, responsible people who love to learn.
