Kristie Simon
5th Grade Teacher
Siegrist Elementary
Welcome to Mrs. Simon's class website! This year is an exciting first for me! I have been teaching since 2004. I've taught 2nd grade at Siegrist Elementary for my entire teaching career with the exception of one year of online instruction. This year I have the opportunity to teach fifth grade. I'm looking forward to the upcoming year!
I believe education is a collaboration between the teacher, the family, and the student. Each is important to the success of the student. As the African proverb says, "It takes a village to raise a child". I look forward to collaborating with you this year.
I'm Texas born and raised. My family still lives there and we're blessed to have the chance to visit often. I moved to Missouri in 2000 to attend Northwest Missouri State University and have lived here ever since -Go Bearcats! I've been married to my wonderful husband, Nick, since 2005. We have two joyful, energetic, and loving kiddos. Anna is 16 and a junior this year. Cade is 13 and in eigth grade this year. We love band, soccer, football, and rugby right now. They sure keep us on our toes and I wouldn't have it any other way!
I'm really looking forward to seeing each and every one of you. I can't wait for an amazing year!
