2. About the Teacher
My name is Ms. Kelsea Clark and I graduated from Southern Illinois University of Carbondale in the Spring of 2014, earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education.
I chose to be a teacher because of my love of learning, love of children, and the desire to make their lives better.
I am responsible for making this Kindergarten classroom safe, healthy, and fun for your children. It is my goal to succeed in that.
