Hello.  I have been teaching First Grade at Columbus ISD for 23 years.  I graduated from Texas State University with M.S. in Education and Master's degree in Counseling and Guidance.  I was raised in the beautiful, small town of Round Top and graduated from Round Top-Carmine.  I now live in Columbus with my husband and daughter, Taylor.  My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment that encourages learning and fun.  I am excited to be a part of your child's day and look forward to a great year.
CES First Grade Teachers would like to encourage students to continue with their learning during this time off. We are including ideas as well as learning resources to help with this.  If you have any questions, please email us using the links on the staff pages.
