Welcome to Kindergarten!

My name is Kristina Russell and I am excited to be your child's Kindergarten teacher this year! I feel so fortunate to call Bryan Elementary my home school. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Idaho State University with an emphasis in Mathematics. In my free time, you can usually find me outdoors. I love camping with my fiancé in our tiny teardrop trailer, hiking with my two dogs (Bailey & Bristow), and fly fishing the local rivers. 

Kindergarten is the very beginning of your child's greatest academic success. This year, your child will learn how to read and write, look at numbers and their patterns, and understand how to grow and learn with classmates and adults. 

Throughout the year, I want to communicate with you about your child's progress and success. The best way to reach me is through the app, ClassTag, or email. I am available before and after school. Thank you for sharing your child with me. I’m looking forward to a great year!
