Hello!

Welcome to first grade for the 2026-2027 school year!

I am Amanda McDanold and I am excited for the new school year in first grade!  This will be my 10th year of first grade and my 11th year teaching and I am looking forward to another great year!

I graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in elementary education and I also have received my Masters in Science in 2020.  I have lived in Missoula for about 18 years now, so this is home!  I try to be outside as much as possible and bring a positive and adventurous spirit to everything we do!

This is going to be a great school year full of fun and engaging hands-on learning and I'm excited to be able to share it with you and your family!  

 Please feel free to contact me at anytime with any questions or concerns.
