Hello! My name is Ciera Howell and I am so excited to be your child’s 5th grade ELAR and Social Studies teacher! This school year will be my 8th year in education and my 5th year teaching my favorite grade, fifth grade! I am so excited to continue my career at Bothwell this year and partner with you to make this school year the best year ever!
Outside of the classroom I love nothing more than spending time with my family. My husband Travis and I have lived in Celina for the past five years. In 2024 we welcomed our sweet baby boy, Wyatt, to the world & have loved every second we have had with him. He sure keeps us busy! I also love to read, watch sports (Go UCLA Bruins!), & travel.
I can’t wait to meet the amazing Bothwell students and serve our Celina community! It’s going to be an incredible year! Go Bobcats!
Meet the Teacher will be on Monday, August 11th.
5:30-6:15 (A-L) 1st - 5th
6:15-7:00 (M-Z) 1st - 5th

Weekly Bobcat (Thursday) folders with graded school work will come home each Thursday. Please return them on Friday.
CLASS DAILY SCHEDULE
Your child will be rotating between three teachers this year. I will be teaching ELAR, Mrs. McMahon will be teaching math, and Ms. Crittenden will be teaching science and social studies.
Students will be allowed a snack time in the morning, so please send them with a healthy, clean snack each day. Make sure the snack does not require a spoon or is in liquid form. Examples of appropriate snacks are Cheezits, goldfish, and pretzels.
Students need to bring their own refillable flip top/straw water bottle each day. No screw top bottles please.
