"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education." ~Martin Luther King Jr.
About Mrs. Crays
Welcome to my fourth grade class website. I hope you find it useful!
This is my second year teaching fourth grade at Lebanon Elementary School and my twelfth year of teaching. I previously taught first grade at Carlinville Primary School. I obtained my bachelor's degree in education from Illinois College in Jacksonville, IL.
I've enjoyed getting to know the people and learning about the community of Lebanon. It's a great school to call "home!" The administration and faculty members show immense pride in their commitment to educating students. I enjoy the everyday challenge and excitement of teaching fourth grade. My goal is to meet the student's needs in a motivating and nurturing environment.
I live in rural Edwardsville with my husband, Mark, and two children, Brooklyn, age 6 and Bradley, age 3. We enjoy anything and everything outdoors!
