Welcome to third grade! My name is Megan Festa and I will teach Reading, Writing and Social Studies this year. I was born in Connecticut and lived there until I moved to Florida in 2004. I graduated from a Connecticut State University with a major in Elementary Education and a minor in Mathematics. I also have my Masters in Reading. Florida is where I began my teaching career 16 years ago. While in Florida, I taught grades 2-5. In 2012, after having my first son, Joshua, we moved back home to Connecticut. I was a 4th grade Reading and Writing teacher for the 5 years I was back in my home state. During that time, I had my second son, Dylan, who is now 4 years old. My family moved to Katy in July 2017 because my husband accepted a job offer in Houston. I absolutely love living in Katy and teaching in Katy ISD. It is such a wonderful community to be a part of!
In addition to my two boys, I also have a cat named Avery. I am a huge Disney World fan and my family vacations there every summer for 2 weeks! In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I also enjoy reading for pleasure.
Mr. Diaz will be my switch teacher and he teaches Math, Science, and Social Studies. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or message me through Class Dojo where I can respond quicker. My conference time is 9:00-9:50 if you would ever like to set up a meeting.
As Walt Disney once said..."Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children."
With that said, I look forward to a wonderful year of learning and I can't wait to see my students grow!
