Welcome to our 1st grade class website! 

My name is Mrs. Shelbi Grimley and I am so glad to be a 1st grade teacher here at TAES. I graduated from Monticello High School in 2012 and then continued on my educational journey at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, followed by St. Cloud State University where I completed my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. 

I student taught in Elk River, MN. I had the opportunity to be a substitute teacher in Monticello, Big Lake, Buffalo, Elk River, and Anoka-Hennepin school districts, serving many different buildings. After substitute teaching for 8 years, I began my 1st grade journey at TAES in 2024.  

I now teach alongside Mrs. Meyer and Ms. Tietz. Together, we have a wonderful first grade team. We work together to create a fun, engaging, and positive environment. We are so excited to welcome you and your student to first grade! It will be a GREAT year!
