About Me

Welcome to a new adventure! 
This year we will be learning lots of new skills while still having fun! I am so excited to have you and your child as a part of my room! 

I am an Oneida native! I have lived in Scott County my entire life and went to school at Oneida High School.
Throughout my school years, I have had teachers that influenced my career choice! I hope as a teacher in my classroom, I can do the same! I know I can't change the entire world, but your child can! I want to inspire them to reach their goals, no matter how big or small!
After high school I went to Roane State and received my Associate's degree in education. In 2006, I went to TTU and received my Bachelor's in Education! 

In 2009, I taught in 1st grade at Huntsville Elementary
From 2010-2012 I taught GED through the Fentress County School System
And from 2012, I have been an Oneida Indian ever since! 

This will be my 16th year teaching and my 13th year at Oneida! Even though I would LOVE to say I have it all together...I most certainly do not. I am always learning new things!

Of all the grades I have taught, I am so in love with Kindergarten! If Kindergarten has taught me anything it's that I won't believe everything they say about you if you won't believe everything they say about me :)
I can't wait to make wonderful memories with your kids! 

 

Supply List

As a school system, we will be providing all materials for students this year! However, we will have snack time everyday. It is a limited time (5ish minutes) so be sure to bring something small and not a four course meal. Some ideas are listed below.

WE WILL HAVE SNACK TIME, BUT SNACK WILL NOT BE PROVIDED
Please send your child with a small snack and drink or water bottle for the machine.
Snacks can be but not limited to: crackers, yogurt, fruit cups, applesauce, pretzels, etc.
Please don't send lunchables or anything that needs to be heated. We will not have time to warm things up.

Practice opening items with your child to work on their fine motor skills! This will be essential to give them ample time to eat their snack before we transition to the next activity

Y'all. The struggle is real! I know this mess in the media will not go away for quite some time. But it is what it is and we are here together! With prayer and mindfulness, I am here for you! I love your children already and have been praying for them continuously! Please let me know if there is something I can do to help you.
