Hello Explorers.
I'm Mrs. McBain and I've been a certified teacher since 2004. My certifications are: EC-4, 4-8 ELAR, 4-8 Social Studies, 8-12 English, ESL, and Special Education. I hold an M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction, a B.S. in Journalism, and an A.A.S. in Audio Visual Production.
I am returning to BISD but am new to Lost Pines Elementary. I am so excited to be be an Explorer.
My husband, son, and I moved to Bastrop in 2004 and our son graduated from Bastrop High School. We now have a daughter-in-law and two grandsons as well as our son. I always hope that someone will teach and care about my grandsons as I do our students.
I am currently teaching ELAR/SS virtually and am enjoying working with our students.
Explorers...explore the world one book at a time!
