Hello, I am Mrs. Graham, and I will be your teacher this year in fifth grade. I am really looking forward to getting to know you. We will be spending a lot of time together, learning with each other. I hope you are excited for fifth grade, because there are so many neat things that we will be learning about!
I just want to tell you a little about myself, so that you can get to know me. I was born in Houston, Texas and lived there a few years before we moved to El Paso, Texas. We lived there for the next 15 years of my life. I loved living there! El Paso is right on the border of Texas and Mexico. I would often go to Mexico to go shopping or out to eat. Ironically, I could be in Mexico faster than I could get to the other side of El Paso! When I was 17 I graduated from Franklin High School and went to college in Rexburg, Idaho. I attended BYU-Idaho. Idaho was extremely different from Texas. I nearly froze my first winter there! I learned a lot and made many great memories. I finished college with my student teaching in Las Vegas, Nevada. After graduation, I decided to go on a mission for the LDS church. I left in December to get ready to go to Budapest, Hungary. (Not sure where Hungary is? Grab a map or a globe! Look closely; it’s only about the size of Indiana!) I loved living in Hungary, and hope to return someday. I came home in 2007 and then began teaching at Snow Springs. I taught second grade for two years and fifth for last year. I think we have a great school and love teaching here!
This summer flew by, as always! I hiked and swam a lot. I spent a lot of time with my family and going to Seven Peak Water Park. I also went to a family reunion at Seeley Lake, in Montana. I love spending time outdoors. I love road biking and did plenty of that this summer with my husband, Andrew.
Some of my favorite things about fifth grade are: Clear Creek, the American Hero Project, Hope of America, and the fun science experiments. You have a lot to look forward to! See you soon!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Graham
