Hello, my name is Mrs. Cress. I am so excited to join the Longhorn family and cannot wait to be your 4th grade teacher! I have fourteen years' experience in both public and private education. I truly love teaching English Language Arts, Reading and Social Studies, but I love my students even more! Fourth grade is so much fun! Building relationships with my students is one of my favorite parts of teaching. I believe in inspiring my students to pursue a love of learning and to accomplish their goals using their full potential. Providing my students with an inviting and robust learning environment is something I am passionate about. I am a proud wife of a first responder in our local community and mama of four wonderful kiddos. I can't wait to meet you and have an amazing year in 4th grade!
