Mrs. Topey has a very busy year packed with activities to promote learning and creativity. It is her goal to have every child reading fluently by the time they leave her class. While in Mrs. Topey’s class, students will also work on writing skills and gain a deeper understanding of math concepts through hands-on experience. They will explore our world through experiments in Science and learn more about our school, community, state, country, and world through Social Living.
Mrs. Topey earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of New Orleans. She has worked in a classroom setting with children since 2008 and this is her tenth year teaching first grade at Lacoste Elementary. She also has two of her own children, Rylee, a seventh grader at Trist Middle, and Brantley, a fourth grader at Lacoste Elementary. She believes that communication is essential for success inside of the classroom. Parents are encouraged to join Class Dojo to stay informed about all things first grade!
