Hello everyone! My name is Mrs Welch and I am so excited to be your new teacher. I have been teaching for 25 years. I have a masters degree in technology integration and an educational specialist degree in reading. I love first grade and will challenge you to reach for the stars this year. My husband is also a teacher. We have 2 sons, who are 21 and 16. We enjoy spending time outside and playing games together as a family.
