Welcome To 5F
About Me My name is Nick Franken I am very excited to be your child's 5th grade teacher! This is my first year teaching and I am looking forward to having an amazing year. Previously I worked for the EmBe after school and summer camp programs for five years while going to school. I was born and raised in Sioux Falls, I graduated from Washington High school, I then attended USD for one year and played on the football team, I then transferred to Augustana College (University) where I continued my football career for one more year before hanging up the helmet. I originally graduated with my Elementary Education degree in 2014 but without my teaching certificated and stayed on at EmBe in an administration roll. I then decided that the classroom is where I wanted to be, and finished up my teaching certificate in the spring of 2016.

Teaching Philosophy |
I believe that learning should be a team effort. Each student can bring their unique abilities and talents to help each other learn. I believe that my goal as a teacher is not only to help them learn the core subjects but to also learn more about themselves and help find things that interest them.
