A little bit about me- This is my 15th year teaching, and my passion is teaching in the primary grades--especially first grade! The kids show so much growth in first grade and it just makes my heart happy.  I have taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, 3rd grade, and 5th grade before! 

I graduated from KU and have my Masters in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in Gifted Ed.  I have also finished my coursework to become a Reading Specialist. Another big passion of mine is teaching children how to read and equipping with the skills to do so.  Every child learns differently, and I strive to hit all multi-sensory levels each day I am learning with them. 

I live in Lenexa with my husband Adam, son Braxton (12), daughter Olivia (7), and my lazy dog Lucy. 

Hi! My name is Sherri Fisher-Sherry, but I go by Mrs. Fisher for obvious reasons. :) I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year!

I graduated from Truman State University with a Bachelor in Psychology and a Masters of Arts in Education.  I started teaching in 1999 in St. Louis and then moved to Clear Creek in 2001 when I got married! I have always taught 1st grade and love it!  Clear Creek is such a fun place to work and play! 

I have two amazing daughters, Aly and Emery.  They keep me really busy, but also so happy!  Hopefully, you will get a chance to meet them sometime this year.  Please reach out if you ever have any questions!

Welcome to our First Grade website!  My name is Amy Morris, one of the First Grade teachers at CCE. I am a graduate of Baker University, where I met my husband of 18 years. I am also a graduate of Emporia State University, where I earned my Master's Degree. My husband and I live in Lenexa, with our two beautiful children- Emily (13) and Tristan (9). Emily is an 8th grader at MTMS  and Tristan is a 4th Grader at CCE! My family enjoys watching movies together, playing games, having dance parties, and reading great books! We also enjoy football, soccer, and spending time with our family. We also have a dog named Ryder, who thinks he is a human. He is spoiled rotten! 

This is my 19th year of teaching. I began my career in Kansas City, Kansas-where I taught grades 2^nd and 3^rd for three years. I moved to the DeSoto school district in 2004, and have enjoyed being here ever since. I love teaching, and have no greater joy than watching my students accomplish something great! Let's have a great year!!

Welcome to my first-grade class! This is my 13th year at CCE, but it's my 20th year teaching elementary! 

My passion as a teacher is teaching reading.  Watching first graders progress from reading 3-letter words and 3-4 word sentences at the beginning of the year to complex words and sentences by the end of the year is such a reward!  Their excitement as readers at the end of the year gives me great joy as their teacher! I am looking forward to a fantastic year in first grade!

Welcome to first grade! My name is Morgan Westfall. I’m so excited to be your child’s teacher! I grew up in Overland Park and graduated from the University of Kansas in 2018 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. My husband and I live in Kansas City with our sweet dog, Winston.

I fell in love with the De Soto School District while student teaching within the district. I started my teaching career at Clear Creek in 2018. I’ve taught 1st and 2nd grade. Teaching is my passion and I love watching students learn and grow throughout the year. When I’m not teaching, I love reading, being outside, watching KU basketball, and spending time with family and friends. I can’t wait for a great school year!
