I would like to welcome you and your child to a time full of learning and exploration!  I am excited to embark on this journey of learning with your student.  With your help, encouragement, and teamwork your child will accomplish many things throughout this year.


I believe that every child brings important and unique talents into the classroom and the world.  By creating a safe environment, every child feels accepted and appreciated.  Our classroom welcomes students to be themselves while getting an education, as well as learning vital lessons from each other.  I believe in maintaining each child’s self-esteem and building a secure foundation for future growth.

Open communication is a cornerstone to my teaching.  Please know that I am always available to speak or meet with you regarding any concerns or ideas either of us may have.  You can reach me by email at tizbee.holm@shorelineschools.org.

I recently graduated from City University with my Master in Teaching-- Special Education.  I was given the amazing opportunity to complete my student teaching and internships in a severe/profound and medically fragile classroom at Shorewood High School under the cooperation of Veronica Cook.  I finished the 2007-2008 school year here at Highland Terrace as a long-term substitute for Sarah Bayle.  The lessons I learned from the students and staff  were life-changing.  I have definitely found my niche in teaching! 

I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child, and having a great school year!
