About The Teacher

I am from Nashville, TN. I have a beautiful nine year old daughter named 
Katie. She is attending Shayne Elementary in the 4th grade this fall. I am a
product of Metro Public Schools attending Bellevue Middle School and Hillwood
High School. I also received my bachelors in elementary education, Masters in 
Reading Specialty from Harding University and my masters in Leadership from 
Middle Tennessee State University. My hobbies are playing guitar, 
singing,and scrapbooking. I help lead the praise team at our church, 
Crossroad Community Church in Green Hills and also attend Oasis Church.We 
have a Cocker Spaniel named Lily. This is my twelth year teaching in Metro. 
Schools, five of which I taught Kindergarten. Please know that I take the 
responsibility of teaching every child very seriously. There is no greater 
honor than teaching a child the love of reading. I look forward to a 
wonderful school year. We are "Bucket Fillers" in my classroom. No one should
enter our room or leave our classroom with an empty "Bucket."
Please know that my classroom door is always open to you! Communication is
very important to me.

Mission For The Class

To educate 1st graders in a appropriate, fun, safe, positive, Christian 
environment. To teach/reach and educate all students at their comprehension 
level no matter what level that might be. I want to not only be a teacher, 
but a friend and a positive role model to all students.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good: his love endures forever." (Psalm 
118)
