Odegard 1st Grade ![]() Hello! My name
is Beth Odegard and I am a first grade teacher at Paideia
Academy. This is my third year with the school. I really
enjoy the small class sizes, supportive staff and parents, and the
content rich curriculum that Paideia Academy offers. First
graders have so much energy and enthusiasm for learning that it makes
my job very rewarding. It is amazing to see the growth and
progress of the students throughout the year.
I earned my Bachelor
of Science in Elementary Education from Minnesota State University
Moorhead. I live in Eagan with my husband Jason. I enjoy
reading, going to Twins games, and spending time with my friends and
family.

Simon 1st Grade Hello! My name is Molly Simon and I am teaching first grade at Paideia Academy. This will be my second year teaching, but my first year at Paideia. I have heard great things about the staff, parents, and students within this learning community and am excited to be here. I am very eager to work with first graders because of the energy they bring into the classroom and the development and growth they all show in their academic and social lives. I graduated from St. Olaf College in 2005 with a B.A. in Psychology and my Elementary Teaching License. I currently live in Minneapolis, and in my free time I love to go running, read books, and spend time with family and friends. |
