• apple Hello!  I am Mrs. Lassen, and I have been teaching since 1995.  I graduated from University of Arizona with a degree in Elementary Education.  I continued on to recieve my master's in Bilingual Multicultural Education with an English as a Second Language endorsement from Northern Arizona University.  I have been at Santan Elementary since 2010 and have loved every minute of it here!  I am proud to have taught Kindergarten and first grades, and look forward to the coming years.  I am a hands-on and visual learner, so I try to incorporate those types of lessons in my practice. 
       I love to read, write, and draw.  I also enjoy taking walks and spending time with my family.   I am very much looking forward to getting to know your children.  I am very passionate about teaching, and want to create connections, build schema, and create a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning for your child.  By working as a team, we will be successful in this goal!
