My first name is Carol. When I married I became Mrs. Johansen. My students call me Mrs. J or teacher! I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah. After high school, I attended Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. This is my second year teaching 1st grade at Wapello Elementary in Blackfoot, Idaho. Before, I taught middle school in a small country area of central Utah and 1st grade in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. I live on a farm. When I am not teaching 1st grade, I like to spend my time outdoors. I love to paint en plein aire, which in French means painting in the open air or outside! This is a picture of me getting ready to do just that!!
