Howdy! My name is Mrs. Mattison and I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Psychology degree. Upon graduation, I immediately set out and earned my Master's in Counseling from the University of North Texas. I live in Houston with my husband and son, Evan, who is two years old. In my spare time, I enjoy playing with my son, exercising, being active outdoors, traveling, and reading. I always knew I wanted to work with children, so I knew becoming a teacher was what I needed to do! I earned my teaching certification and taught first grade for one year, then kindergarten the last six years. This will be my eigth year teaching and I am so excited to get to know your child! I absolutely love teaching kindergarten and wouldn't trade it for the world! I'm fortunate to teach at such a great school that allows me to tailor my instruction to my unique students' individual needs. I believe all students can be successful with patience, unconditional kindness, and passion from me as a teacher. I look forward to a great year!
