All About Me

My name is Mrs. Russell,  I have taught 20+ years at Colcord Elementary.
Retirement is o Our school is so wonderful.  Everyone that works here cares so much. We are like one big happy family. 

I have one daughter, (pictured above  with Trenton and Kenneth) who is also a teacher, and three grandchildren. Jessica is working on her master's degree.  She wants to be a Federal Programs Director.  Kenneth is in third grade, he loves electronics.  He is always messing with cords. LOL! Autumn is in high school, she plans on going to college to be a school counselor. Trenton, my oldest grandchild is working full time. 

My husband is a truck driver. He was in the military for eight  years and served in Desert Storm. We have been married several years.  We have three house bunnies, named Rosievelt, Po Ping and Lucky.  

They are very spoiled.  Rosievelt is a mini lop and runs freely in the house when we are home. Lucky was rescued from a field and Po was found on my porch (she knew where to go) LOL.  They are litter box trained and love to eat lettuce and carrots. Rosie also loves racing down our hallway. She does visit my classroom from time to time.

I have several hobbies and likes.  I love binge watching my favorite shows on Netflix.  I enjoy having my grandkids over.  Of course I love to shop.  Diet Coke is my favorite drink and I love snacking on cherry sours.

The best part of my job is the children.  It is so awesome to watch students master reading, math, cutting, pasting, and social skills.  My heart just melts when they take off reading.
