Mrs. Patrone - First Grade

Class overview

I am looking forward to a wonderful year of learning with your child! First grade is one of the most rewarding years of your child's education. Transformations and connections of skills show amazing growth. Learners will work hard, build stamina, and see the fluency and confidence of skills.

About me

I am very excited to be teaching first grade again this year. This is my 14th year teaching. I graduated from Colorado Christian University with a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction! I completed my student teaching here at Cottonwood in 2007 and I consider this school HOME.

I was born in Vail, Colorado and I’m 100% a Colorado girl who enjoys any and all activities near or in the water! My husband, our two children, Kara-leigh (8½) and Triston (6½), and I enjoy as many days in Lake Powell as possible! I enjoy hiking, biking (on the beach cruiser), camping, snowboarding, scrapbooking, and of course teaching.
