Mr. Salvevold's 5th Grade

Thanks for checking out my homepage.  My hope is that this will be a useful resource for students and parents.  If you have any comments, suggestions, or you'd just like to say hello, you can e-mail me at Timothy.Salvevold@moundsviewschools.org Background info:  This is my 10th year in the Mounds View School District, and my 4th year at Valentine Hills. I graduated from Northwestern College in Roseville in 1999, and was hired as a 2nd grade teacher at Pinewood in the Fall.  I have had the opportunity to teach two years of 2nd grade, 3 years of 4th grade, half a year of Science Specialist, half a year of 3rd grade, and three year at 5th.  I'm excited about being back at Valentine this year.
