About The Teacher Label
About The Teacher
I have lived in Mt. Juliet since I was four years old. Things certainly have changed here in our small town. I remember when we didn't even have a red light or a McDonalds!! I attended Kindergarten in the building on Mt. Juliet road that is now a wedding chapel. I went to the first thru fourth grade at the old Mt. Juliet Elementary, which is now torn down. Then I went to fifth and sixth grade at West Elementary. I came back to the old torn down Mt. Juliet Elementary for seventh and eighth grade because the Jr. High used to be included at that building. Finally, the new building was finished and I went to the ninth grade at what is now called West Wilson Middle School but was Mt. Juliet Jr. High at the time. My sophmore, junior and senior years were spent at Mt. Juliet High School. I graduated from there in 1980. My parents still live here in the house I grew up in. I have a sister living in Lebanon, a sister in Mt. Juliet (Stoner Creek teacher Ms. Gatlin is my sister), a brother in Old Hickory, one in Lebanon and one in Atlanta, Georgia. I have had a wonderful life coming from such a big family. I also have 10 nieces and nephews as well as a great niece and nephew. I have two very precious children of my own. Ashley, my daughter, is almost 21 years old and is attending nursing school at MTSU. She continues to make me very proud! Collin, my son, is almost 14 years old and he is in the eigth grade at West Wilson Middle School. Collin also makes me proud. Thank goodness he is a good boy because his stepdad, my husband, is a teacher there. His name is David Akins and he coaches football, wrestling and boys soccer in addition to teaching. As you can tell, family is very important to me. Also very important are our pets, Gotee' the cat and Homer the dog!! I absolutely love teaching school. This is my 21st year to teach. I have been at Stoner Creek since we opened 20 years ago. I was fortunate to have the unique experience of teaching in the elementary school I once attended while SCE was being built. Most of my experience has been in first grade. However, I've taught 2nd and 3rd grade too. I've even taught a split class where I had 2nd and 3rd graders together. I've looped from 1st to 2nd grade with a class and I have been in a team teaching situation. Just like the students, I continue to learn and grow each year because every year brings new challenges and experiences. Moving from 1st to 5th grade is definitely going to be a fun and energizing challenge. My hobbies include scrapbooking, photography, reading, and cooking. I enjoy traveling and camping. I even like to fish a little. My favorite places that we visit several times a year are Gatlinburg and Panama City Beach. I also love Disney World. We get to go about every 4-5 years. My husband and I even talk about working there in the summers once Collin is grown. I'm lucky that he likes it as much as I do. I enjoy watching some sports but when I'm limited on time, it isn't my first choice for something to do. Movies have to be really good for me not to fall asleep:) Mostly, I love to be with my family. As long as we are together, everything is fun. We like to play games, grill out and play with Homer. We love to spend time with our extended families too. When we are out of school, we love to travel.
Mission For The Class Label
Mission For The Class
My mission is to build genuine relationships with each of my students by treating them with respect and compassion. I will help each student to develop a positive self-esteem by believing in themselves and by striving to be their best. I will treat each one as an individual with specific needs and feelings. I will also establish a unity within our classroom as I teach and encourage the attributes of good character. By providing the students with a positive, community oriented environment, I will stengthen their academic and social skills.
