Add Me as a Friend!
Nebo Elementary School
Hometown:
Nebo, North Carolina
Class Information:
Room Number: 203
Students per Class: 22
Class Description:
My students are from diverse family backgrounds and come to me with various levels of skills. We often spend part of our day building friendships and learning the basics of cooperative learning.
Position:
5th Grade Teacher
Needs:
Most of my students have not been out of the county in which we live. It is difficult to help them connect the vocabulary they need to develop for 21st Century skills, without the use of technology.
My Philosophy:
All children have potential. Since they will soon be the workers, educators, government agents, etc., I want to prepare them as best I can now. They deserve the greatest I can give each day.
Personal Information:
About Me:
I have been in education for 18 years. I am married to my husband Steven, and we have three children and one grandchild. Our youngest son and granddaughter are pictured on my profile.
College and Degrees:
I attended Appalachian State University for both undergraduate and graduate education. I am a Nationally Board Certified Teacher with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
Activities:
I play the piano, sing, and read mystery & children's fiction books. I like to hike with my husband and our youngest son (of 14).
Favorite Books:
I like to read books with my students. Some of my favorites are City of Ember, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, The Sacrifice, & The Top Ten Ways to Ruin the First Day of 5th Grade,
Favorite Quotes:
It is more important that we light a fire in our students, than to fill their buckets. (not verbatim) Teachingis a calling - not a job.
Interests:
I am the Choir Director at Church; and I also watch HGTV.
Employment History:
Have taught in McDowell County for 18 years, Most of which have been at Nebo Elementary where I currently serve as a 5th Grade Teacher.
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because students need someone to come beside their parents and guide them in learning skills necessary for their future. I believe all children have potential and deserve the best we have to offer!
