Eighth Grade Homeroom Teacher

Welcome to my webpage!  I am Martha Harms, the 8th grade homeroom teacher at St. John's Lutheran School.  I have the pleasure of teaching the 8th grade religion class (including memory work) and 8th grade language and spelling,  I also teach the 8th grade pre-Algebra class, as well as math for grades 5, 6, and 7.  I have always had a love for math, so I very much enjoy these classes and try to help my students see the joy of working with numbers!

            This is my seventeenth year at St. John's Lutheran School.  I was the 4th grade teacher here for twelve years and am now in my fifth year with the 8th grade homeroom.  Before this, I taught in a 5th and 6th grade combined classroom at the Lutheran School Association in Cole Camp, Missouri, for three years.  I also taught algebra part-time for eight years at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Missouri.  Do the math......that's a lot of years in this profession!

            I was born and raised in Wapakoneta, Ohio, where my mom still lives in the house my parents built together.  I grew up with three brothers, who live with their families in Iowa, Indiana, and southern Ohio.  God has also blessed me with two wonderful sons, William and Nathan, who are both out of high school.  I enjoy spending time with them, and I also enjoy reading, taking long walks, and taking trips to see my relatives.
