Welcome to First Grade!
Hello first grade families! My name is Morgan McCanless, and I’m so excited to be your child’s teacher this year. First grade is such a special time in a child’s learning journey, and I feel honored to be a part of it.

I graduated from Anderson University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, along with an Early Childhood Education Certification. I went on to earn a Master’s in Teaching and Learning with a STEAM specialization from Clemson University in 2021, and most recently completed my second Master’s in Educational Technology and Instructional Design from Western Governors University in 2024.

I am truly passionate about teaching first grade and believe in creating a warm, encouraging classroom where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to grow.

Outside of the classroom, I love reading, spending time at the beach in Hilton Head, taking walks with my dog Daphne, and hosting friends and family at our home.

I’m looking forward to a fantastic year filled with learning, laughter, and lots of growth!

Please find our daily schedule for Monday through Friday. Pay close attention to our PE day so that your son/daugther has proper shoes for class.
