Welcome to Your Enrichment class!
Welcome back! My name is Lori Bonnstetter and I am super excited to begin the enrichment journey with you. This is my 3rd year at Hoyt and I'm extremely lucky to get to teach all three grade levels this year. Prior to coming to Hoyt, I worked at Harding Middle School and before that I was at the Science Center of Iowa as their Teacher-in-Residence, which basically meant I got to play with the exhibits and watch IMAX films while trying to figure out how to enhance the educational experience for school groups visiting. I've been married for almost six years and have a 3 year old little guy. Keaton is all boy so he is giving his mommy a run for her money. This summer he really started talking, but still calls movies his beloved 'fovies'!
The summer went by FAST! I spent a majority of time at school, both Hoyt and Drake. While you are embarking on a new school year, I too will be heading back to Drake in September for my second year in the educational leadership program. Many years down the road I would like to be in a role where I am helping teachers become better educators.

Our family is expanding!
I'm excited to announce that in June our little family of three will be expanding by one! A new baby is on the way and ready to shake up my life. Soon we will be finding out what the gender of the baby is. Use the link below to text your vote as to whether you think the baby will be a boy or girl!

It's a Boy!!!
The classroom poll is in; 43% of you thought it was a boy, while 57% of you thought it was a girl. Both my husband and I thought it was a girl as well, however on Wednesday we found out that we are having another boy and I couldn't be more excited. I never thought we would be lucky enough to have another child and I'm very excited that Keaton will have a little brother. The thought of bunk beds down the road makes me very happy. Plus, since Keaton was born in July and Baby Boy will be joining the world in June we will be able to recycle all of Keaton's clothes. The timing just couldn't be more perfect!
