About The Teacher

Many of you reading this are trying to learn more about me before you 
send your child to me on their first day of fifth grade. Teaching is a second 
career for me, I spent about 10 years in sales before becoming a teacher. 
This is my sixth year teaching fifth grade, my third at Kemp Elementary.

In my personal life, I am married with 3 children (9, 3, and 1). I love 
sports (University of Alabama, Colts football, Reds/Braves 
baseball) and the outdoors. I grew up in Mobile, Alabama; attended the 
University of Alabama for my B.A. degree and University of Alabama-Birmingham 
for my Masters.

I believe in hands-on activities as much as possible, especially in 
Science and Math. Research shows that kids retain more material if they have 
ownership. We will be working on research projects throughout the year in 
Social Studies. Some of the things we do will be new for the kids and 
therefore also new for the parents. I'll give students control over their 
learning, giving them ownership. They will have the ability to choose the 
path of learning based on what they want to accomplish, what grade they want 
to earn. This new responsibility sometimes has its growing pains with 
students and parents. The kids will be relied on to meet deadlines, work 
independently at times, research, and honestly report their progress. I've 
seen phenomenal work and progress with this approach and the kids love the 
freedom to learn. It creates a dynamic classroom.

If, at any time, you have questions about the curriculum - please let me 
know. I look forward to a great year, where we'll push your child to achieve 
and find success.
