Welcome to Dr. Tellinghuisen's Classroom
Our classroom is so awesome; I will spend the year differentiating to best meet the needs of each of our classroom learners. I have always said, "I have the best job in the world!" I am so excited to be your child's teacher and your partner in this educational journey.  

I grew up and reside in the Milaca area, graduating from Milaca High School. The following year, I earned my Associate's Degree from Cambridge Community College. I received my degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Social Studies from St. Cloud State University and I received my Master's Degree from Saint Mary's University.  I earned my administrative license (K-12 Principal and Superintendent) and my Doctoral Degree in the Education Administration and Leadership Doctoral program at St. Cloud State University. 

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, spending time with my niece and nephew, reading, tending to my gardens, relaxing at the lake, and teaching Master's courses for Saint Mary's University.

This is my 21st year teaching at Milaca Elementary School.  I have taught in the Title One Program, in Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, a 1/2 Combo Classroom, Response to Intervention (RTI) Program, and the Special Education Program ~ and I have LOVED every single one of them!

As partners, we can help your child have a fun, successful year. Please don't hesitate to contact me by phone (320) 982-7150 or by email with any questions or concerns that you may have!!  I am looking forward to working closely with you throughout the year.
