Hello and welcome to first grade! My name is Riley Vonder Haar and this will be my second year at Incarnate Word and fifth year of teaching. After graduating from Villa Duchesne, I went to Truman State University where I received my Bachelor's in English, Master of Arts in Elementary Education, and certifications in English as a Second Language (ESL) and Early Childhood Education. I then taught kindergarten at Queen of All Saints in Oakville, MO for three years before joining the Incarnate Word community! My two dogs, Tobi and Micah, are my best friends, and they quickly become the furry favorites of first graders. I also love to read, knit, and drink iced coffee from fun mugs! I look forward to meeting you and your children!
