About The Teacher

My name is Kristin Samples and this is my sixth year of teaching.  I have 
been at Highland City for the duration of my teaching career and I feel at 
home.  This is an amazing school!  My first year of teaching was in 5th grade 
and the remainder of my time has been spent as a 4th grade teacher.  I have 
been married for 7 years to my husband Alan. I have a son named Layne and he 
is 20 months old.  He was born on my 6 year wedding anniversary.  He has 
brought so much joy to my life.  It is amazing to watch him grow everyday.

Mission For The Class

Our class is called Victory Lane.  The mission for our class is to work 
together and become fifth graders by the end of the year.  We are racing 
toward the finish line!!!

Our class has a check book system that allows them to earn money for good 
choices, doing their jobs, and completing all of their assignments.  At the 
end of each nine week period the students will get a chance to spend their 
money in a classroom auction.  The checkbook system is a great system because 
the students realize that if they do not follow the 4 B's and make good 
choices they will lose money.  They also learn the responsibility of saving 
money and budgeting their checkbooks.
