MEET THE TEACHER!

Hi!!! Welcome to 1^st Grade! I am happy to have all my “little ones” this year! We are off to a GREAT start.

Let me introduce myself and tell you a little about my family. My name is Michele Dundas. I have been teaching for 30 years. I have taught Kindergarten, 1^st, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th grades. I have also taught in 3 different states, Missouri, Tennessee, and Louisiana. My husband Everett and I have been married for the past 31 years, and we have 2 children, Jason, age 29 and Jessica, age 22. We have lived in Louisiana for the past 20 years. We transferred from Tennessee. My husband was actually born in New Orleans but raised in New York. I was born in Kansas but grew up in Houston. We met in college in Missouri. I love to travel, read, write, and eat!

I have an “open door” policy in my classroom. I will ask for parents to come read with our class during the 2^nd 9 weeks. I also have Career Week near the end of the year and I will ask parents to come and share their jobs with us.
