Hi!
My name is Barb Rookaird. I teach first grade at Washington Elementary. It's a great grade to teach because it's always exciting to see how much first graders grow in skills and maturity! This is my thirty-ninth year of teaching and even after all these years, every day is different! I have been at Washington all thirty-nine years. I taught two years at second grade, two years at third grade, and the rest have been at first grade. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa. My Master's degree is from Wayne State College.
I live with my best bud, a cuddly, lovable pekingese named Toby. When I'm not busy with school (or brushing Toby), I love to read, shop, and do crafts of all kinds.
