About Mrs. Funke
Hello there! My name is Abigail Funke and I am one of the five First Grade teachers we have here at Lakeview Elementary. I taught kindergarten for 5 years before graduating to 1st grade this year! I am so excited to start this new journey at Lakeview. I knew I wanted to be a teacher at a very young age. I was always the one taking all the pens and paper in the house and creating "assignments" just so I could use a red pen and give them all a star. Teaching is not only my calling but my passion. I went to University of Northern Iowa where I received my Elementary Education Degree with a reading endorsement. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my husband Drew, and our sweet little boy Marshall. We spend a lot of time outdoors, making memories with family and friends, and cheering on the Packers and Hawkeyes. We also love to spend time at home in Lisbon with our mischievous "Maxi Cat" and Golden Retriever Daisy. Our house is crazy, fun, and loud with two pets and a very busy little boy...but we wouldn't want it any other way. We will be adding to our chaos this December when we welcome our second baby!
