• My name is Anneliese Smith and I am excited to be your child's fifth grade teacher!  I received a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Westminster College in 2002 and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from William Woods University in 2009.  I am entering my 22nd year of teaching.  I spent ten years teaching second grade and one year teaching first grade for the South Callaway R-II School District.  This is my eleventh year at Lawson.  The first four years I taught third grade, and this is my seventh year in fifth grade.  
     
    I grew up in St. Louis, so I am a HUGE St. Louis sports fan.  I love watching Cardinals baseball and Blues hockey!  My family still lives in St. Louis, so I return as much as possible to visit.  I love to read.  My favorite reading genre is mysteries, because I love to put the clues together to solve the mystery before the characters in the story do.  I also enjoy listening to live music.  I just can't stop myself from dancing and singing along.  I enjoy traveling to new places, and exploring the outdoors.  
     
    I am looking forward to a great year together!
