Hello! My name is Lydia Ross. This is my 13th year as a third grade teacher. I taught at Gotsch Intermediate School in the Affton School District (near St. Louis, MO) for the first 12 years of my career. I was Gotsch Intermediate School's teacher of the year in 2009-2010! My husband and I are originally from this area and are so happy to be building our dream home here! I am excited to be working in the Waynesvillel School District.
I received a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Maryville University. I have my Master's Degree from Walden University in integrating technology into the classroom and I am currently working on more technology classes! For eight summers I taught at a summer camp in Chesterfield. The last two of those summers I had the opportunity to teach dance. I love working with kids!
On May 22, 2013 my husband and I welcomed our first baby into the world. Hazel Adele was born at 10:40 a.m and weighed 8 pounds. She is so much fun! Can you figure out how old she is now?
I have been certified as an eMINTS4All teacher. Our classroom incorporates technology into all parts of the curriculum through the use of student computers, the Smartboard, iPads, and a document camera. Visit the eMINTS website for more detailed information. Also visit our student work page to see some samples of the great work students are doing.
