Welcome to 1st Grade! My name is Kristine Wheat. I am a 1999 graduate of Lincoln High School. Thief River Falls is my hometown and I love teaching in this community. In 2004 I graduated from Minnesota State Univeristy Moorhead with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. In 2016 I received my Master's Degree in Early Childhood from Northern Arizona University. After graduating from college I moved to Arizona where I taught for ten years. While living in Arizona I met my husband Nick. In 2014 we moved to Thief River Falls with our twins Wyatt & Willow. This will be my sixth year teaching 1st Grade at Challenger. I look forward to working with you and your child.
