Hi, I'm Mrs. Dopke!
👩🏫
I teach 7th grade English Language Arts
on the Patriot Team!
Experience
I attended college at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois and graduated with Bachelors Degrees in Secondary Education and English. This year marks my sixth year teaching English Language Arts! I began teaching in Cary, Illinois, where I taught 8th grade for three years before moving to Casper, Wyoming to teach grades 6-8. My family then relocated to Elkhorn, Wisconsin.
EAMS Experience
My first year of teaching at Elkhorn Area Middle School was during the COVID-19 Pandemic. During this time, I was reminded of the resiliency of 7th graders as well as how fortunate we all were to be able to learn together. Middle school students never cease to amaze me, and I cannot wait to teach a new group of 7th graders this year!
Hobbies
Outside of teaching, I enjoy camping 🏕️ and canoeing 🛶 , reading in comfy chairs (usually in coffee shops) 📖, attending community theater performances 🎭 , and spending time with my husband❤️ and our dog, Sage 🐕 .
