Mr. Christopher T. Englund
Hello Farnsworth community! I am happy to be teaching and learning with all of you. I began teaching in 2001 and spent many years teaching high school English and Reading Intervention classes. I started teaching 6th grade ELA (Reader's and Writer's Workshop) at Farnsworth in 2019. I love working with middle school students, encouraging them to dig deep into their stories and their minds to make real-life connections. Farnsworth is an amazing community that I am proud to be a part of again this year!
At home, I am busy chasing after my three sons, Rory, Felix and Crosby. We enjoy playing pickleball together, riding bikes and on weekends walking over to a nearby bakery to get fresh donuts! As for myself, I love watching movies, playing tennis, enjoying a relaxing weekend morning at a coffee shop, reading books about movies and music, and listening to podcasts/audiobooks.
I love the North Shore of Minnesota, going to live music in the Twin Cities and watching horror films with my older brother.
This school year I am excited about teaching 6th grade Reader's and Writer's Workshop and learning and growing with my students!
