☕ Welcome to But First, First Grade! I'm Colleen :) This store was born during my years teaching first grade. Now I teach third grade! The primary grades are my passion.
☕ If I had to sum up my teaching style in three words, I couldn't! Each day I work to be many things for my students: loving, equitable, patient, innovative, engaging, entertaining, genuine, and approachable.
☕ I'm still very proud of the day I won the Child Development Award in 12th grade ;)
