Hello & welcome to First grade!! My name is Valentine Phothisane, and I have taught 1st grade at Kreinhop going on 6 years and previously taught kindergarten in Spring ISD. There is never a dull moment, and I absolutely love it!

A little about me-I was born on Valentine’s day (hence my first name- Valentine) in California, but was raised in the spring area and attended Spring schools from Pre-k through 12th grade. I have always had a passion for teaching and obtained my Bachelors in Teaching from UH. Go Coogs! I have been happily married for 17 years and have 2 wonderful children. My daughter will be a senior at Klein Collins and my son attended k-5 here at Kreinhop and will be starting 6th at Schindewolf. I absolutely love teaching, and I hope you’re just as ready as I am for an amazing year of growth!
