Welcome to First Grade!  I would like to introduce myself.  I have been teaching first grade for ten years.  I love teaching first grade!  I have been teaching in St. Paul Public Schools for about 18 years.  This is my third year at John A. Johnson.  I love it here.  I have enjoyed my previous students, and I am so happy to see them succeed and do well. So I look forward to a fun and fulfilling school year.
