Callen's First Tball Game!

What an adventure!  He had lots of fun, but we are working on that focus.  He did look super cute, though! He also kept us laughing. We just hope the next game gets better! I will let you know!

Meet your Teacher!

Hello students/families of Martin Elementary.  My name is Mrs. Tyndall and I will be starting my 16th year of teaching.  You may not recognize my face because this is my FIRST year in Crandall.  I taught one year of 3rd in Hays CISD then taught for 14 years in Mesquite ISD...I also graduated from Mesquite ISD and went there throughout my childhood. I have taught 3rd grade for 5 years, 5th grade for 8 years and have spent the last two years as a Reading Instructional Specialist.  I was inducted into the Apple Corp of Mesquite in 2010; it is an honor to be recognized in teaching.

How did I get a job in Crandall?  Great question!  We moved to Kaufman two years ago and my son will be starting school in a year.  His home campus is Martin Elementary so that is where I want to be!  I want him with his neighborhood friends, in his home school, but with me in the building.  It has always been my dream to teach at the same school as my child.

I am a proud Texas Ex!!  I Hook em' throughout the football season.  You will hear a lot about the University of Texas and the Longhorns.  I graduated in 2002 and then received my Masters in 2008 from Texas A&M Commerce. 

I have two fabulous dogs that sadly are getting older...Izzy is 12 and Anna is 11.  They are my first fur babies and sleep on the bed with us every night.

My husband of 12 years is Mr. Tyndall.  I met him in middle school and we were boyfriend/girlfriend for a week.  I guess I made an impression because we remet in Austin in 2001 and were married in 2004.  We enjoy the outdoors, vacationing, scuba diving, going to church, listening to live music and entertaining friends.  Our greatest joy is our son, Callen.

Of all the great things I have experienced, being a mom is my favorite.  My son is four years old and quite an imaginative child.  He is funny, entertaining, curious, loving and just pure hearted.  We learn things every day together!

I look forward to learning more about you as we grow together this year!
