Hello Bobcats, my name is Mrs. Kauffman and this will be my 3rd year teaching in Celina ISD. The previous nine years I was teaching 5th grade in Frisco. Prior to that, I taught K-5 Gifted & Talented in the Austin area. Overall this is my 24th year of teaching!
My family is my pride and joy! My husband and I have been married for 25 years and have two amazing kids. My daughter graduated from OU in 2023(Boomer!) and my son attends Texas A&M (Gig 'em).
I love to read, attend concerts and sporting events, traveling with my family, playing cards and board games or simply relaxing and watching movies!
Daily Info:
Our students attend a different specials class each day for 50 minutes. Students need to wear sneakers on P.E. days in order to safely participate or bring a pair to change into. We will cycle through 6 different specials, so each day is NOT assigned a particular special. When in doubt, wear tennis shoes!
If you have a change in transportation for the day, please email me AND call the front office before 2:00 p.m. transportation changes will not be accepted after that.
Lunch money may be added to your child's lunch account online on the School Cafe site for additional snacks and ice cream day. Use this link to add money to your child's account : School Cafe
Please provide a healthy snack for your child to eat in class during snack time and a flip top/straw water bottle that can be easily refilled. No screw-top bottles, please.
Please check your child's weekly folder. Weekly Bobcat folders with graded school work, PTA news and other school wide information will come home each Thursday. Please look through the folder, return any necessary items signed or filled out and have your child return their folder to school as soon as possible!
Restaurant(s): Starbucks, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Salad & Go, anything really!
Color: Pink, Turquoise and orange.
Store: Amazon, TJ Maxx/Home Goods, HEB, Walmart, Target, any!
Snack: peanut butter filled pretzels or crackers, Cheetos or Cheese Puffs and anything chocolate!
Beverage: Sonic Diet Dr. Pepper with Vanilla and Cherry or a Cherry Limeade. Chick-fil-A Sweet Tea, Starbucks Caramel Macchiato (hot or cold).
Relaxation: massages, pedicures and getting my nails done.
Hobbies: reading, traveling, crafting, family game night and movies.
Thank you in advance for any supplies you may be able to provide for our classroom from the wishlist. If you are unable to donate monetarily, prayers are always welcome!
