Staff Profile

I’m Ms. Simonson, and I’ve been teaching science in Saint Paul Public Schools since 2013. This year in Earth Science, I’m excited to work together as students investigate fascinating phenomena and make sense of our amazing planet. I value creating a strong classroom community where every student feels seen and supported. In this space, they are challenged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.Collaborative investigations, outdoor experiences, and curiosity-driven learning are at the center of my teaching. By guiding students to use science and engineering practices, they build the skills to see themselves as scientists who can explain and understand the world around them.
