Ms. Severson exceeded my expectations as my daughters first grade teacher. She was always so patient, so kind and so helpful. My daughters kindergarten experience was not the best and she was discouraged coming into the first grade. My daughter was very comfortable and at ease when she was with Ms. Severson class and she ENJOYED being in her class. Ms. Severson has been teaching over 20 years mostly in 1st a d 2nd grade most of her career and I applaud her for her determination in making sure her students are not only learning but making them feel good about themselves and setting the tone for a greay environment in and out of the classroom.
