Mrs. Hess is entering her 26th year of teaching. 
Time flies when you are having fun! 
Most of that time has been spent in the upper grades, 5th grade and 4th,
but she has taught every elementary grade except for 1st!
She lives at home with her handsome husband and their crazy
Old English Sheepdog. 
He's big and furry (and slobbery) and named
Buckingham
...after the palace.
Mrs. Hess has three children of her own, two boys and a girl.  All three of them are teachers ! 
Guess it runs in the family!
Her oldest son is married to....guess what....a teacher!...but she is a stay at home mom now because Mrs. Hess also has two granddaughters!
She keeps busy by
keeping in touch with family and friends, reading, gardening, and exercising. 
Her favorite thing in the whole world is when all of her family gathers together!
Can you guess what her favorite color is?
Hint:  It rhymes with two, and you are looking at it!
