About Me

Picture
I would like to introduce myself!  My name is Kristen O'Brien.  I am a wife and mother to three wonderful children.  My husband and I have two sons, 8 and 6, and a daughter who is 3.  We live in the country with our dog, Roscoe, and our cat, Charlie, in southwest Missouri. 

I am a Title I Reading and Math teacher at St. Mary's Elementary School.  In addition to Title I, I also teach academically talented 1st through 6th graders.  As you might imagine,  there is never a dull moment while I am at school doing what I love - TEACHING.  Prior to my current position, I taught 6th grade for 3 years and 2nd grade for 4 years. 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and surfing the web.  I love to explore other teacher's web sites and blogs to get ideas to use in my teaching.  I am amazed at what so many wonderful teachers are sharing with their students.  Technology is really changing the way we teach and our students learn.  Teaching is a very exciting and fast-paced career and I love every minute of it!
