Welcome to 4th grade!  I am Amanda Osborne and have been teaching for 24 years.  I have taught grades 5 (for 13 years), 3 (for 2 years) and have been in grade 4 ever since.  I graduted in 1993 from SIU with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and in 1998 I received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education.  I live in Marion with my husband, Chris and 2 boys, Brandon (21) and Blake (20).  I have 3 dogs, Dorey, Heidi, and Bella. Outside of school, I enjoy particitating in and watching Crossfit with my family, running, reading, watching sports and spending time outside, but only if it's warm.  I detest winter!!!
