Hi there! I'm Ms. Matney, and I am so excited to be your child's teacher for this year! This is my second year teaching 2nd grade, so I am excited to be on this journey with you all! I have been teaching for four years in Denton ISD as a second grade teacher, substitute teacher, ESD Instructor and Pre-K aide. I graduated from UNT with a degree in advertising and a minor in psychology. I obtained my teaching certificate through iTeach Texas. When I'm not at school, I am busy traveling, cooking, and spending time with my friends/family. I have the cutest dog named Hunter, and you will probably hear a lot about him (sorry in advance). My favorite place that I have traveled to is South Carolina - such pretty beaches and good vibes there! I love getting to relax outside with a good book and enjoy nature. I hope to make this a fun year, and I look forward to getting to know you all!
