Welcome to Mrs. Mendez's 1st Grade Class

About me:

My name is Mrs. Mendez and I have been teaching since August 2018. My first year I taught Pre-K here at Lacy Elementary and have been teaching first grade since. I went to college at the University of North Texas. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 6 years old. This is my passion and I love my job. I could not think of anything else that I would want to do for a career. I got married the summer of 2020, to Joseph, and we have two dogs, Shiloh and Boomer. I am always excited for a new school year. I love to see the new students, challenges, and adventures that each school year brings. 

Some of my hobbies include: wakeboarding, enjoying the lake, swimming, being outside, listening to music, and watching tv.
