5th Grade Social Studies and Study Skills - Ms. Towns
Welcome to my Website!! I am Ms. Towns, the 5th Grade Social Studies and Study Skills teacher. This is my fifth year in Moody ISD. I am so excited to teach this years group of students. I have posted my tutorials, schedule, syllabus, and how to best communicate with me. If you ever need to reach out to me or have questions, then please do not hesitate. I am happy to help and answer any questions that I can.
I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2022. I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Early childhood (EC) - 6 and Special education (SPED) EC-12. Teaching has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I am so glad to get to pursue that dream here in Moody.
