Hello! As a new second grade teacher here, I can say I feel lucky to be in Missoula! Although I am new here, I am not new to teaching. For the last five years I have been teaching fourth grade in Great Falls. I am originally from just north of there, growing up on a farm and ranch. I attended MSU Bozeman, graduating with a B.S. in Agricultural Education Relations and a B.S. in Elementary Education. This fall I will be graduating from MSU with a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction (but don’t worry, I’m a secret Griz fan...don’t tell anyone). My husband and I have two wire-haired pointing griffons and enjoy going out hunting with them. 

I am absolutely thrilled to work with your students; everyday is a fun adventure! I strive to help each student learn to appreciate, and hopefully even love, both math and reading. I have an open-door policy; you are welcome to come to class any day (following MCPS Covid-19 guidelines)! Please reach out with any questions or comments. I look forward to meeting you!

Mrs. Kress
