I was born in Decatur, Alabama. I have lived in Cullman majority of my
life. Up until the time I was five, my father was in the military so we
moved often. After that, I have been here since. I attended Fairview High
School for 1st-12th grade. Two years after high school, I married my high-
school sweet heart, Derrick Garrison. At the time I work in the finance
business until I became a mother four years later. I then decided I wanted
to be home with my children. In 1998, I opened TODDLER TIME DAYCARE. I was
the owner and operator of my licensed home daycare for eight years. I have
a love of working with young children, which is why I decided to go back to
college later in life and pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education. I
graduated from Athens State University in December, 2006. I taught at
Cullman City Primary the second half of the school year, filling in for two
leave of absences. This year will begin my second year of teaching, but as
you can tell I have an extensive background working with pre-schoolers.
Derrick and I are blessed with two precious children, Elijah (11) and Lizzie
Mae (9). Our children attend school at Fairview. We are a very active,
sports minded family. One of our favorite pass times is supporting our
college team---WARRRRR EAGLE! Our children play sports year around and my
husband coaches basketball at Brewer High School in Morgan County. We are
active in our church and in different ministries with our youth and young
children.
My mission is to create a strong foundation for my students and they will
enjoy learning and coming to school. I want to create independent learners
of concepts and objectives prescribed by the Alabama State Department of
Education. We are "go-getters" for learning. Our focus is on reading, math,
and writing. I will use those three areas as we study science, social
studies, and themes of interest. Our class is a student-centered, teacher-
guided class. In the TIGER class, students will choose to learn in an
environment that is safe, productive, challenging, and fun. As the teacher,
I will guide the students along a path of discovery, learning, and
challenges. It is my mission as a kindergarten teacher to meet each student
at his/her level and to help them grow. Our classroom will be an
environment of fun, age appropriate learning.
Our goals are high and it is our mission to reach them---Reaching for the
Stars!!
