Welcome to second grade!! My name is Lisa Kimbrell. I have spent the last 20 years teaching kindergarten through third grade. I have to admit that second grade is my favorite. I attended college at Eastern Washington University where I received my B.A. in Elementary Education with a major in reading instruction and minors in mathematics and special education. I later received my Master's Degree focusing on reading and literacy instruction. In addition I have had the opportunity to attend Columbia University's Teacher College in New York for two summers as part of their Reading and Writing Project.

I was born and raised near Spokane, Washington. I grew up on a small farm and always had lots of animals as my pets. I moved to Southern California in 1999. My husband Matt and I moved to Temecula in 2004 and we love it here. I have an 12 year old daughter and a 4 1/2 year old son. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors, watching sports, traveling, shopping, and spending time with my family.
