My name is Elizabeth (Ellie) Russell. I am currently attending Weber State University, in Utah, to receive my degree in Elementary Education. I would love to teach the younger grades, not only so they won't be taller than me, but because I love their excitement for learning. My favorite subject to teach is reading along with phonics! One word that describes me is loyal. The three most interesting facts about me are, I have never broken a bone, I love to watch Datelines while eating ice cream, and I am a twin. I have learned this semester that a great classroom is one where the students accept and love each other for who they truly are. I am currently enrolled in Finland + Sweden and the Baltics Program for this May. I could not be more excited to go and experience life in a new way! One of my favorite adventures was in Puerto Rico, ziplining through the El Yunque National Forest!
