Welcome to Mrs. Tolson's Webpage! I am so excited to have your child my class. I have taught for 5 years, 2 years in 2nd grade and 3 years in 1st grade. I graduated from Texas Tech University and moved here with my husband, Brian, in 2007. We have a little girl, Taylor, who will turn 2 in November. I love kids, and I am so excited to have this opportunity to work with your child. It is such a blessing to get to watch them learn and grow. Each one of my kids is very special to me, and I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child. I will be updating my webpage frequently this year. I will add the calendar that has important dates, spelling words, and other important information. I will also be adding the objectives that we will be working on for that six weeks. I look forward to a great year!! Mrs. Tolson
