A little about Ms. Lawson, I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska into a military family and slowly made my way to Texas after a few years in Montana and Washington. Primarily, I grew up in San Antonio, Texas where I attended both elementary and middle school. I then moved to Friendswood, Texas where I completed high school.

I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies EC-6 and English as a Second Language.

I have enjoyed backpacking in Colorado and Alaska, traveling to different countries in Europe, North and South America, worked as a counselor at a youth camp in Texas, served on a mission trip in Costa Rica, and currently coach at a local volleyball club.

This will be my seventh year teaching, second year teaching fourth grade, and second year at Hood-Case Elementary. I am a big believer in positivity and having a growth mindset. Your child is capable of doing incredible things this year!

I am very excited about what is in store for your child this year, and I look forward to working with you as well.

Our objective in 4th grade is to foster a positive learning environment where students strive to be the best they can be everyday! We are here to guide, teach, and facilitate instruction in order to help students become more independent thinkers and life-long learners in our global society.

In OUR class, we will...

1. Be our BEST self!

2. Follow the classroom norms/Social Contract.

3. Follow the school expectations.
