Midweek Update Feb. 27 with Danielle Erdmann and Luke Hagen
Feb. 27—MITCHELL — Danielle Erdmann has taught for 19 years, 15 of which at Mitchell School District.
She's a science teacher at Mitchell High School, so she's spent plenty of time at the decades-old building that's in its final year of use as the district completes its new high school construction across the road on Capital Street.
Is she looking forward to moving out of the old high school?
"I think the kids are really going to like it," she said, pointing out some of the inappropriate graffiti on her classroom's science tables. "All of our stuff over here (at the current facility) is kind of janky, our ceiling leaks, so I'm excited."
Erdmann talks about her favorite memories in teaching, what keeps her students engaged and the future of teachers in South Dakota in this week's Midweek Update video.
