Hi, my name is Ellen Buhrow and I teach 3rd grade at Perkins Elementary. I have taught Title reading for three years, 1st grade for seventeen years, and this will be my fourth year in 3rd grade. I enjoy riding my bike, walking my dog, and spending time with my family and friends. I graduated with 2 degrees from Grand View College and then got my masters at Viterbo University. I love teaching and learning, and am looking forward to a great year ahead!
3rd Grade
My name is Mrs. Katie Dall-Winther, and I have taught for the Des Moines Public Schools since August 2001. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a double major in Elementary and Middle School. My endorsements were in reading and Middle School. I also received my Master’s Degree from Viterbo University with an emphasis in Literacy and Vocabulary instruction in 2005. My first 11 years of teaching were at the middle school level serving sixth through eighth grades teaching struggling readers through advanced readers. I was very pleased to join the Perkins Academy staff at the 5th grade level in August of 2012.
I enjoy cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes, gardening, and spending my time with my family.
