Welcome to Mrs. Sumsion's Bizzy Bees!
I am so excited! 2nd grade is a big year. Many things are going to change for your student. There will be more expectations, such as becoming more independent and cooperating with others. It is important for school and home to work together to help the students meet and exceed expectations. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. It is going to be a great year!!!
My name is Tina Marie Sumsion. My birthday is November 21, 1983, so I am 40 years old. I grew up on a farm in Utah. I have been married to Jade for 20 years. We have 3 kids; Afton(15), Gage(12), and Oakley(9). Our dog Remy is a Miniature Golden Doodle and is 5 years old. I also have chickens and pigs. We have moved 19 times but have lived in Kimberly for 12 years. We love it here!
Education: I graduated from Utah State University where I received two bachelor Degrees, Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. This is my fifth-year teaching 2nd grade at KES. I also taught 3rd grade in Utah for a few years.
