My name is Joanna Fineran and I love teaching 3rd grade! This will be my seventh year teaching at Kloefkorn. I had the pleasure of being a member of the staff as a general para-educator its inaugural year. I left to earn my Masters in Elementary Teachings from UNL and taught 1st and 3rd grade at Belmont Elementary.
I am originally from Indiana, but have called Nebraska home for the past 19 years. I received my Bachelor of Marketing from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and worked in the field of marketing for about 10 years. I then enjoyed a stint as a stay-at-home-mom with our three sons for 10 years. In 2014, I received my Masters in Elementary Teaching from UNL. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, Winston & Wicket, watching tennis, playing golf, and reading a good book.
My husband, Thad, and I have three sons. Caleb is studying mechanical engineering at Missouri S&T, Sam is studying chemistry at St. Olaf College, and Noah is a Junior at East High.
