I am in my 39th year of teaching. I taught junior high in Chattanooga
for 2 years. I taught 1st grade here for one year--1970-71. I began this
current stay at Oakdale in 1974. I love teaching Kindergarten and this is my
36th year teaching this age. Things have certainly changed over the years.
Last year I had a grandchild of one of my first grade students. If I
continue teaching, I will probably have more grandchildren of students.
On a personal note, I am married to Mickey Bingham who is the P.E. teacher
here for elementary grades Pre-K through 5 and 7th grade boys. WE LOVE THIS
PLACE. We have 2 sons, Michael who lives in Oakdale. He works as an

Goals for my kindergarten class
To teach the students that learning is fun.
To have a learning environment that is educational, fun and inspiring for
their age group.
To prepare students for first grade.
To stretch their imaginations to include new experiences beneficial to their
education.
To be sure they each one know I love them and want only what is best for
them.
I want them to know to treat people the way they want to be treated.
