My name is Mrs. Goodman, and I am so excited to be in first grade. 

This is my 3rd year at Bell and my 17th year of teaching.  I have taught grades K-5, but this is my first year teaching first grade. I have a Master's degree in Elementary Education with a reading endorsement from Delta State. I am originally from Durant, Mississippi, and moved to Cleveland in 2013 to marry my husband.  We have two fur babies, Charlie, an English Bulldog, and Trouble, an American Bulldog. 

Hi! My name is Jessica Hardy, and I am thrilled to be your child's teacher this year! 

This is my 2nd year at Bell. I spent one semester in the Science Lab and then finished that year back in the 1st grade classroom where I'm most comfortable. My family is most recently from Clinton, MS. My husband and I both graduated from Hernando High School and both got our undergraduate degrees from Delta State. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Science. This is my 11th year as an educator. I have taught 1st-3rd grades. 

I have been married to my husband, Zach, for 10 years. We have two children. Josiah is 6, and Lillian is 2. We all love outdoor activities and music. 

I look forward to lots of fun and learning this year.
