I have lived in Cookeville for 33 years. I am married to Lee Webb my wonderful husband who
supports me in the rewarding profession of teaching. We have three children.
My oldest daughter, Amy( a previous kindergarten teacher -now being a mom) and her husband
Chris live in St. Louis,Missouri. Chris has just completed his doctoral program at Ohio State and is
teaching at Maryville University in St.Louis, Missouri. They have three children Mary Grace,5 and
Graham,2 and Annaliese, who is seven months.
My second daughter Allison lives in Cookeville. Allison works at Plateau Mental Health and is
attending TTU. She is completing a master's degree in counseling which she will complete during this
academic year! She has one son Aiden who is six and is attending first grade at Capshaw.
My son Drew is a UT graduate, and is now attending graduate school at University of Michigan to
major in higher education administration.
I earned a M.Ed. in early childhood curriculum and instruction from Middle
Tennessee State University and have 17 additional hours of post-graduate
study. I continue to seek many avenues for professional growth and learning.This summer I attended
the Early Childhood Summit in Nashville,TN and presented a workshop; Investigation Stations at the
STEM Center at TTU.
I have taught kindergarten for 17 years and sixth grade for three. This
begins my sixteenth year of teaching kindergarten at Capshaw. Much of my
previous experience(20 years) has been as an administrator of pre-school programs. I
have directed Cumberland Presbyterian Nursery School, Creative Learning and
the TTU Child Development Laboratory. These experiences have strengthened
my understanding of young children and their development prior to the
kindergarten year.
In the little spare time I have I am totally devoted to enjoying my adult
children and GRANDCHILDREN! I also have primary responsibility for my dad who is 90 years old! I
enjoy reading,walking,drinking coffee and being outside!!
In the classroom,in addition to assisting children to learn to their
potential and stretch their academic growth,I have a strong priority for
maintaining a developmentally appropriate classroom setting and seeking to
allow the children to enjoy being children.I believe that it is important that the young child enjoys all
those things they deserve :nursery rhymes,songs,art, painting and LEARNING THROUGH PLAY!
I find each child to be unique,special and lovable.
Capshaw kindergarten will seek to develop the whole child: socially,
emotionally, physically and cognitively in a safe and developmentally
appropriate environment. It will seek to create a positive attitude toward
learning and school.
