Hello! I am Ann Neighbors.  I was born and raised in Belleville, IL and have lived in this area for all my life, except for my 4 years of college.  I attended Missouri State University where I received my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education and graduated in 2008.  I then attended McKendree University while teaching full time and completed my Masters of Arts in Education and graduated in 2012.  I have taught fifth grade at Moye for my entire teaching career.  This will be my 15th year in the classroom!  I currently live in Swansea with my husband, our 2 daughters, and our dog Wall-E.    

I am pleased to welcome your child to my class!   In order to have a fun and successful year, my most important goal is to create a family of learners in my classroom. I am committed to creating a classroom environment where your child is a valued, trusted, and an integral part of our family of learners. In order to accomplish this, I have planned a variety of activities to emphasize and reinforce this goal. It is my hope that you will support and encourage this vision at home.
