My name is Tina Reisman, and I have lived in Wichita, KS my entire life.   I am beginning my 16^th year of teaching and have taught kindergarten, 1^st grade, 3^rd grade, and 5^th grade.  For the first ten years of my career, I taught in a Catholic school. This is my sixth year as a teacher at Payne.    I graduated from Friends University in 2001 with degrees in Biology and Spanish.  In 2007, I earned my Elementary Education degree from Wichita State University.  I also have my endorsement in English as a Second Language through Newman University.  I have four nephews and one niece.  The youngest is four years old, and the oldest is sixteen years old. I also have a two-year-old orange tabby cat named Dean.  My goal is to help 1^st grade students enjoy school and learn as much as they can to be successful students in the future.
