Nice to meet you! My name is Ms. Otankis. This is my second year teaching 3rd grade. I graduated from Texas Tech University, you will probably notice a couple double Ts around my classroom. I grew up here in Denton, TX. While I don't have any human babies of my own yet, I do have a sweet fur baby named Sadie.

I am excited to get to know all of my amazing students and watch them as their knowledge grows. My favorite part of teaching is seeing their little lightbulb light up when a student has their "ah ha" moment. 

Here are a couple of my other favorite things:

• Color: Blue

• Food: All things Mexican or Italian 

• Treat: Reese's and Albanese Gummies

• Drink: Dr. Pepper Zero & Hint Water

• Team: Texas Tech Red Raiders (of course!), The Dallas Cowboys, & The Texas Rangers

• Stores: Target, Amazon, and TJMaxx/ Marshalls 

Is it weird that I don't drink coffee?
