Hello!  My name is Natalie Strothman, and this is my 22nd year teaching.  I double-majored at MSU-Billings to graduate with a degree in both Special Education and Elementary Education. I earned my Master's Degree from Walden University in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment.  I have taught in the states of Washington, Wyoming, and Montana.  The majority of my career I have been a Special Education teacher at Chief Charlo Elementary. Chief Charlo is my favorite place to teach as this learning community is amazing!  This will be my first year teaching 1st grade. I'm excited about working together this year. 

I am married to a very caring and patient man who is also a teacher.  We have been married for 13 years and have three sons. Declan and Joe attend Chief Charlo, and Will, who is 4 years old, is anxious to start kindergarten next school year.  As a family, we love to play boardgames, go on walks, and attend various community events.

I look forward to collaborating with you this school year.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
