Janet Dorn Lead ESOL Teacher |
Hello! My name is Janet Dorn and I am originally from St. Paul, Minnesota. I love teaching English as a Second Language to my Barcroft students. I was a second language learner and the first person in my family to go to college. This school year is exciting for me because after many years in 1st grade, this will be my first year teaching 4th grade. When I’m not at school, I like to spend time exploring new places and new foods with my friends and family. |
