All About Me!
 

Welcome to Kindergarten! I’m Ms. Rice, and I’m so excited to be your teacher this year! I recently graduated from UTSA with a degree in Elementary Education, and this is my first year teaching. I’ve always been a huge Longhorns fan. HOOK 'EM! I can’t wait to explore new stories and ideas with you. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my cats, traveling, and doing anything near the water. I’m looking forward to a fun and fantastic year together!

Experience: 

This is my first year teaching, and I couldn’t be more excited to begin in Kindergarten! Last year, I completed my student teaching here at Kinder Ranch with 1st grade, and I’ve been part of Comal ISD since 2019 through the School Age Child Care (SACC) program. I’m thrilled to continue my journey here and can’t wait to learn and grow alongside my students this year!
