Greetings! My name is Sara Larsen. I am from Chattanooga, Tennessee. I
attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where I majored in
Special Education. I graduated in 2000, got married and moved to Virginia
because of my husband's job. For two years, I taught the severe/profoundly
handicapped students of Waynesboro, Virginia. I had my first child (Addison)
in Virginia and got homesick, so my husband transferred back to Chattanooga.
After taking a year off with Addison, I went back to work at Loftis Middle
School teaching inclusion classes and Math/Science Alternate Achievement
classes. I taught at Loftis for 5 years, during which I had my second
daughter, Jillian, who is now 4 years old. I hated to say good-bye to
Loftis' students and faculty, but my husband got a job with the government
and with that...a transfer. We welcomed the new adventure; so, here we are
in Edmond, Oklahoma! We've been here since March ('09) and slowly but surely
I am learning my way around, still using my GPS at times. I have been very
impressed with the friendliness and welcoming nature of the people of
Edmond. We have been truly blessed to have moved here and to have already
made wonderful friends. I am very fortunate to work with such wonderful
people at Deer Creek Elementary School.
In my spare time...ha ha... I enjoy spending time with my family, reading,
and watching movies (all kinds...except horror). I have a southern accent, I
love Tennessee Volunteer football, I love to smile, and my voice has a
tendency to carry long distances which is useful when my girls leave the door
open and my yellow lab runs out the door to explore the neighborhood!
I look forward to working with your child and expect this will be the best
year yet!!
The mission for my class is to make students who enjoy being at school and
are motivated to push to do more and expect more from themselves. My goal is
for all my students to make progress each year in reading, writing, and
math. I know each of them have the potential for great things and I hope I
can help them see it in themselves as well. With parental help and support,
I know we will see our kids grow and learn everyday.
