Hi! My name is Kelly Di Liello and I am SO excited to be part of the Bobcat First Grade team! Most importantly, I am THRILLED to be your teacher! It’s going to be a fun year full of learning and new adventures, and I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for us. I want to know ALL about you, but first I’m going to tell you a few things about me.

I was born in Council Bluffs, IA and I am the youngest of three girls. I have older twin sisters, Amy and Amber whom I adore! I grew up in Ocala, Fl and after I graduated from High School, I moved to Tallahassee and attended Flagler College on TCC’s campus. I majored in Elementary Education and couldn’t wait to start teaching.

I have taught first grade for 8 years and fifth grade for a year. This is my 10^th year teaching and I LOVE teaching first grade because you learn and grow so much as a student. I hope to challenge you to reach for the stars this year!

I’m excited for you to meet my buddy, Hedgie! He’s a stuffed furry friend who likes to go home with my first grade friends for the weekend. I’ll be telling you all about him on Monday!

I am married to a wonderful man, Mr. Di Liello, who sells computer software. Mr. D and I enjoy being outside, exercising, eating out, watching sports, traveling to new places, going to the movies, and just hanging out around our house. We have the sweetest dog named Bella. Bella loved having me home over the summer so starting school will be tough on her. I can’t wait to tell her all about my new first grade friends!

I am super excited to be your teacher and for you to be part of this awesome class in room 110. It’s going to be a FABULOUS year!
