About Mrs. Eason

*I just completed my 4th year here at Abney.  I have taught 1st grade for a 
semester, 2nd grade for two years, and just finished up my 2nd year in 4th 
grade.  I was chosen as the Elks Teacher of the Year in 2007-2008 for lower 
elementary, which was such an honor because I was such a new teacher! :) I 
absolutely LOVE Abney and I'm so proud to work here! 
**I have been married to my wonderful husband for 9 years and we have two 
beautiful boys together, Jackson and Jake.  We also have the cutest little 2 
pound chihuahua; her name is Cena!  
***I graduated from LSU in 2000 with a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology.  I 
was a FINS Officer for one year and then became a Truancy Officer for five 
years.... so...I know how important attendance is to the education of a 
child! I have a lot of experience working with parents and children!  
****I decided to go back to school to pursue my Master's Degree.  I received 
a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in 
December, 2006....and have been loving every minute of teaching! 
*****I have just recently received an add-on certification in Educational 
Leadership. My goal in the future is to become an Assistant Principal!  

****I am a very vibrant and fun-loving teacher!  We have lots of fun in my 
classroom, and the learning is constant!  I implement many things 
in my classroom including:  PBS, KAGAN, and CHAMPs.  I am trained in the 
following: Thinking Maps, Write From the Beginning, INTECH, KAGAN, CHAMPs, 
DIBELS, Win-Win Discipline, Promethean Board (activInspire/Studio), I can 
also supervise a student teacher in my classroom (which I have), and I am the 
sponsor of the Abney Spartan Stompers Dance Team!
*****I love coffee from Starbucks and McDonalds.  I absolutely LOVE the 
SAINTS (Scott Fujita is my ALL TIME FAVORITE...even though he left us)!!! 

                          ****** GO LEAP!******
