Ms. Melissa McFadden

First Grade Teacher

 

Hi! My name is Melissa McFadden or Ms. McFadden. This is my second year teaching at Shepard. I taught second graders for the last two years. I’ve taught many different grades as a substitute teacher for many years. I worked as a substitute teacher and Title 1 tutor for Lewisville ISD before I started working as a substitute teacher in Plano ISD. 

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. I learned to love teaching at a young age when I started helping my mom at her elementary school. When I am not working on our schoolwork/lessons, I love to watch movies and TV shows, and read my books. My energetic dog loves to play fetch and tug-of-war. My goal is to be an empathetic and dedicated teacher who encourages students to become lifelong learners.
