About the Teacher

Education

I am a product of DeSoto County schools, having attended the Olive Branch schools my entire education.  After graduating from Olive Branch High School, I then spent two years at Northwest Community College then transferred to The University of Mississippi to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.  I received my Master's in Gifted Education from Arkansas State University.

Experience

After graduating from Ole Miss, I was offered a third grade position at Southaven Intermediate School.  I loved third grade and consider it a privilege to have taught 3rd grade at SIS for the first four years of my teaching career!  Then I was offered the 3rd grade SPOTLIGHT position at SIS, where I spent the next four years.  I transferred to LPS in 2016, and it's such a privilege being part of the Lewisburg family!!  This will be my 15th year teaching (11th year teaching gifted) and my 7th year at Lewisburg.  I'm SO excited about 2nd grade gifted and absolutely love being a Patriot!! :)

Always remember to have fun and use your imagination this summer!

Try some of the following activities:

*Build a paper airplane launcher

*Create a fort either inside or outside (be sure to ask your parents first)

*Ask your parents if you can help make dinner for your family one day

*Invent your own musical instrument

*Collect rocks around your house or while you are on a walk and paint them with encouraging words. Then leave them where others can find them.

*Write a story and act it out for your family.  Include parts for your brothers and sisters or friends, if you want.

*Build something using things that you find from nature.

*Look at the clouds...do any of them remind you of anything?

Let's play a little Boggle! How many words can you find? :)
