Mrs. Elizabeth Kinnison

My name is Elizabeth Kinnison , and I am an ECSE teacher. I co-teach with Pre-K general education teacher, Veronica Lopez. I was born in Dallas, TX and lived there as a child. I grew up with 3 older half sisters and many beloved pets. I graduated with a Bachelor in Interdisciplinary Studies specializing in Early Childhood in 1998 at University of North Texas, and became certified to teach.  After graduation, I took a career change to become a flight attendant with American Airlines. In 2002, I got married and became a Navy wife.  In 2005, my beautiful ginger-haired daughter, Audrey, was born. I became a stay at home mom for a little while. In 2016, I decided to go back to my first love, teaching. I wanted to try Special Education, so I became a Special Education Paraprofessional(assistant) at Canyon Ridge elementary.  I loved this job, but knew eventually I would want to teach Special Education.  In 2023, I became certified to teach Special Education, and took the leap to become an ECSE teacher. 2024-25 will be my 2nd year teaching, and my 1st year co-teaching with Mrs. Lopez.
