Welcome to Kindergarten. My name is Mary Slaba. I have been teaching for 23
years. It surprises me sometimes when I add up the total number of years!
My teaching career started in 1984, in Colome, SD, where I was a Chapter 1
teacher. That summer, I married my husband, Bob. We moved to Murdo, SD
where we both taught. I taught Kindergarten for 3 years and 1st grade for 2
years. Next, Bob and I moved to Vermillion, SD where I taught kindergarten
for 5 years. At that time, I recieved my Master's Degree in Early Childhood
Education. We then moved back to Murdo for 2 years and I taught 2nd grade.
When we first moved to Canby, I did some long-term subbing. I taught
Kindergarten part-time in Minneota for 1 year and then started teaching in
Canby. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade in the Canaby
District.
My family has lived in Canby 12 years. My husband, Dr. Robert Slaba is the
High School Principal in Canby. We have 4 children. Courtney is a
Sophomore, Caitlin is a Freshmen, Michael is a 6th grader and Matthew is a
4th grader.
We round out our family with Dakota our Black Lab and Fat Louie our cat.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family at our lake cabin,
traveling, reading, cross-stitching and shopping.
I chose teaching as a career because I knew that each day I wouldn't be
going to work,I would be going to do something that I have a passion for.
There isn't a day that goes by in which some student doesn't have an impact
on me in some way.
