Welcome to Mrs. White's Class

Hello Everyone! Welcome to our class site.  For those who don't know me, let me introduce myself. The 2025-2026 school year is my eighth year teaching at Florence Elementary School. I have taught STEAM, Title One, and kindergarten at Florence. For the past couple years I have also taught coding camps with Bitterroot Coding for Kids.  Before working at Florence Elementary, I taught preschool for two years, as well as kindergarten for two years at Corvallis Primary. I earned my Bachelors in elementary education at the University of Montana in 2008.

While attending the university I worked for the Space Grant Consortium where I got to travel to different schools across Montana presenting space science from NASA to K-12 classrooms. Before I attended the university, I was in the Marine Corps as a Spanish Linguist for four years. I was fortunate to be able to travel to all sorts of places such as Mexico, England and Europe. I love learning about new places and I hope your kids do too.

I have lived in Montana most of my life. I grew up in Hamilton and Butte. My husband, Kenny, and I met in the Marine Corps and decided Montana was the place we wanted to call home so we moved back after our enlistments were up. We were married in 2007 and have 2 boys Reid and Greyson.

We also have two horses: Orion and Artemis, a dog named Riggs, and a cat we call Zorro because he is a crazy ninja fighting cat. We just got three fish, Grape, Cookies, and Batman! We love hiking, horseback riding, and camping. I also love photography and READING! I spend many hours with my nose in a book.

Thanks for visiting, and I can't wait to meet all of you!
