About The Teacher
Hello! My name is Michelle Riley and this is my fifth year at Teravista Elementary. I love teaching and have also previously worked in the PPCD (Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities) at Teravista. I am so proud to be a Teravista Tiger and I am so excited to begin my third year teaching First Grade.

I am originally from Colorado where I was born and raised. I met my husband (Matt) in college while earning my Bachelors of Science in Business Administration at Colorado State University (Go Rams!). In 2006, I left the chilly mountains of Colorado for the sunny hill country of Austin. Upon moving to Austin with my husband, I completed my Master's Degree. After working for a local college I discovered my passion in life was to teach and l and began my quest to help teach children of all types. I love finding the best ways to teach and engage students in a fun and meaningful way.

At home, I love to spend time with my husband, scrapbook, paint, hike, and try out new foods when cooking. My favorite food to make at home is Pad Thai! My favorite past time is taking dance lessons, every now and then I like to brush off my old dancing shoes and take a ballet class here and there (it keeps me on my toes).

I adore children and love teaching. I feel honored and privileged to get to know your child and be a part of such an amazing community. Please know that I am always available to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to getting to know more about you this upcoming year!

Kindest Regards,

Mrs. Riley
