About The Teacher

Hello, I am Susan NeSmith and this will be the start of my 21st year of 
teaching. I have previously taught kindergarten and first grade. This will 
be my seventh year at East Elementary. I received my Bachelors degree from 
The University of Alabama in Birmingham and my Masters degree from The 
University of Alabama. I enjoy teaching second graders and watching their 
faces as they discover new things about the curriculum and how to implement 
these new skills into into their daily lives. I am married to Charlie NeSmith 
and we have two children. Chelsea, who is a senior at Cullman High School and 
Chas, who will be entering first grade at Cullman Primary School. We tend to 
lead interesting lives with our children being 11 years apart. On one hand we 
are preparing and searching for the right college and on the other hand we 
are learning to read and play soccer. There is always something new going on. 
We attend First Baptist church and will soon begin teaching 11th and 12th 
grade Sunday school. I am very excited about this opportunity we have been 
given to interact with our youth. I enjoy hanging out and spending time with 
my kids,working in my yard, attending Auburn footabll games, and reading. I 
am looking forward to this new school year. I hope you that you find yourself 
loving East Elementary as much as I do.

Mission For The Class

It is my mission for the students in my classroom to leave second 
grade "loving to learn." I want my classroom to be a fun, safe and 
challenging environment in which to learn. I believe every child has a gift 
and it is my job to help find that gift. These children will one day be our 
future and I hope to instill in each one of them some sense of character 
that will help them be productive in tomorrow's society.
