Mrs. Best
Hello! My name is Mrs. Best and I teach kindergarten in Room 2, The Lily Pad. I feel blessed to have been teaching at Chet for well over 20 years. Throughout these years, I have taught kindergarten, first, second and third grade. While I love every age, my favorite grade to teach is kindergarten. I hope to stay here in Room 2 teaching kindergarten for the rest of my career!
When I am not teaching, I stay very busy with my family and my two dogs, Bear and Bandit. My husband, Lawrence, and I will celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary this October! We met at Sea World 30 years ago and have 4 children: Thomas- age 19 and a sophomore at SDSU, Emily- age 18 and a freshman at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Caroline (age 16) and William (age 13).
Apart from spending time with my family, my favorite thing to do every single day is read! I read every chance I get, which is usually in the middle of the night. I also love to travel and have visited almost every state in our beautiful country as well as a long list of countries around the world including Switzerland, Scotland and the Philippines. I also love to bake anything sweet, especially cookies and I'm slightly obsessed with ice cream and iced tea!
