Hello and Welcome to Ms. Digar's first grade classroom! 

This is my seventh year with first grade here at Washington Montessori!  Go Pandas!! I love teaching and learning and can't wait to build a family of learners with our incoming students.  We believe in care and respect and first grade always works as a team. We are going to have so much fun and learn so much this year!! 

I am born and raised in St. Louis and am proud to be at SLPS.  I received my Associates degree in the art of teaching at St. Louis Community College - Florissant Valley (2009).  I received my Bachelor's degree in the science of teaching at University of Missouri- St. Louis (2013).  I went on to receive my Master’s degree in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Character and Citizenship Education at University of Missouri St. Louis (2016).

I am proud to be a teacher and my passion for learning is always growing! When I am not teaching, I am playing with my 14-year-old niece Kinlee Kruiz (we call her KK), or with my little dog August (we call him Auggie). I volunteer with the St. Louis Youth Sports Outreach and coach a 12U softball team.  I like to fish and be in nature, and I like to listen to music when I work. I like to eat Mexican food and I also enjoy listening and watching hockey...Lets Go Blues! 

I am excited for this school year and I hope that my families and students are too!  Let's go first grade!
