My P.E.S.S. Statement
Hello, I'm Maridee Ryan...
This will be my 32nd year of teaching. I began my teaching journey in 1977, when I graduated from Michigan State University. I taught in Jackson, Michigan for two years. Upon moving to Dallas in 1979, I began teaching Science at J.W. Carpenter Elementary. I also taught grades 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in Dallas.
Since 1986, I have been at Boyd Elementary. I initially taught 3rd grade for 6 years and then taught AIM (Gifted and Talented) for 9 years. In 2001, I returned to third grade, which just happens to be my favorite grade!
