Ms. Morin
1st Grade DL/ESL Teacher
I grew up knowing that I wanted to make a difference in someone's life, and what better way than becoming a teacher. I am a proud alumni of FWISD, and then went on and graduated from Texas Wesleyan University with my degree in Early Childhood Education and ESL. The place I call home is outside of Portland, Maine in a small town called Lewiston.
I taught 3rd grade Math in Dallas ISD for one year and then was welcomed in to the Manuel Jara family. I am currently about to start my Master's degree at Lamar University in Counseling.

I have dreamed about being a teacher since I was in kindergarten. I attended the Texas Women's University. I have a wonderful husband, sweet son, and a beautiful daughter. I have been teaching at Manuel Jara since 2004. I love being a teacher.
