Welcome to English with Mrs. Guentensberger (or Mrs. G). I am excited to be with you this year! I have been teaching for eight years and have experience with everything from Kindergarten and beyond, but my passion is working with teenagers and exploring literature and writing as a way to communicate with the world.
Obviously as an English teacher, I love to read and write but I have many other interests as well. I am a triathlete and this summer completed my first IronMan (140.6 miles of swimming, biking and running). Working out is what keeps me sane, so you'll often find me out on a run or ride.
I am a mother and wife. You will hear a lot about my family during the year. My husband, Ziggy, always provides good material for discussion - how could he not with a name like Ziggy?!? Tanner, my son, is in 6th grade and is an avid hockey player. So we spend a lot of time at hockey rinks with him during the season. My daughter, Rylie, passed away this summer after a horrible accident, but she is very much still on my mind. I will speak of her frequently as she inspires me to live life to the fullest. We also have two dogs, Tank and Carmel.
