Lauralee Hill

Second Grade

First and foremost, I love children! I consider being a teacher one of the greatest blessings in my life and I love my job! I come from a family of educators. Both of my parents were school teachers and my grandfather was a teacher, an administrator, and also the bus driver! Teaching is in my blood. I also come from a home where reading and music were part of each day.. My mother was passionate about both. I remember bedtime when I was a child as a wonderful time because it meant that my mom would sit in the hall between my brothers’ room and the room I shared with my sisters and read and sing out loud. It is one of my favorite childhood memories.

I’m excited to read and sing with your children. There is nothing I love more than watching a child discover the pure magic of a great book. And I’m blessed to be part of a family circle of educators in my family who have been loving, teaching and influencing children for more than sixty years. I spent my childhood on a sheep farm in Idaho where I swam in ditches, trained pigs and sheep to be shown in our local county fair, and drove a tractor before I took Driver’s Ed. I married my husband, Jay, after an 18 month adventure in the Dominican Republic and together we have four children who have made our hair turn gray from stress and our faces turn wrinkly from laughter. I am thrilled to be part of Lincoln’s 2nd grade team. This will be a great year!
