Welcome to 4th Grade with Mr. Hansen

Welcome to 4th grade! My name is Lars Hansen and I teach 4th grade in room 230 at Lyndale School. I have been teaching at Lyndale since the 2013-14 school year. For my first four years at Lyndale I was the Math Specialist for Kindergarten to 3rd grade. Since the beginning of the 2017-18 School Year, I have taught 4th grade. 

I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Elementary Education.

I believe all students can achieve a high level of problem solving skills if we focus on having a Growth Mindset. My main goals are for students to believe that they can do it, be able to find a good book, and enjoy school activities with hands-on experiences and technology integration.

I am a proud former MPS student. I have always lived in Minneapolis and am happy to call it my home. I love biking to work (even in the winter) and it is awesome to teach in the same neighborhood that I grew up in.
