Hello! My name is Mary Beth Klinedinst. I am so excited to be teaching 1st grade. I have been a teacher at Monroe Grade School for 9 years; spending five wonderful years teaching Kindergarten, an additional year working with interventions across all grade levels, one year in 2nd grade, and last year in 1st grade. I knew from the time I was in 1st grade that I would one day be a teacher, so I’m excited to get back to my “roots.”
My personal educational experience includes graduating from Western Illinois University with a Bachelor’s Of Science Degree in Elementary Education in the fall of 2010. Shortly after graduation I was hired at Monroe. and have grown to love the community both within and surrounding Monroe. I especially love the small classroom sizes, the integration of technology, and emphasis on meeting the needs of individual students.
On a personal note, my husband Drew and I have been married for 8 years and have a 4 year old son, Isaiah, as well as a 15 month old daughter, Adelynn. We live in Canton near family and are the third generation of my family to live in our current home. In addition to chasing a very active toddler/baby, we stay busy volunteering at our church in a variety of settings and ages. To relax, I enjoy crafting, learning calligraphy, reading, and shopping.
Some fun facts about me include: My favorite color is PURPLE and it has been as long as I can remember. I love Disney movies, especially the classics like Beauty and the Beast. My husband and I love to go on trips and stop by small roadside attractions. Last summer we went on a cruise with the kids and had a blast. I recently acquired a Cricut and have had a little too much fun vinyling (this is a word now right?) everything in sight!
I definitely have a sweet tooth and look forward to having a “SWEET” year in 1st grade with your child!
