Nyob zoo! My name is Xib Fwb Padee and I have been an English as a Second Language teacher since 2016. I graduated from the University of Montana and received my ESL license from Hamline University. I love spending time outdoors and exploring new places.
I currently co-teach in ELA 6, ELA 7, Minnesota Studies 6 and American Studies 7. I look forward to working with your child as well as building partnerships with families and the community. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at padee.thao@spps.org.
