WELCOME TO FIRST GRADE!  

Hi!  My name is Mrs. Cope and I am going to be your first grade teacher.  This will be my 15th year to teach and my 10th  year to teach 1st grade!  I love first grade and all the exploring, learning, and fun we have!

I was born and raised in Texarkana, Texas. I attended  East Texas State University (Now Texas A & M), where I received my Master's degree in Reading. 

 After teaching for five years, I moved to Ohio and then to Florida.   I put my teaching career on pause and had two awesome children.   My husband’s name is Jay. I also have  two fur babies named Luke and Bo. When we decided to move back to Texarkana, I knew I wanted to resume  my passion for teaching!

I’m blessed to be a part of the RL herd! 

I’m excited to start your first grade journey with you! It’s going to be a great year!
