Hello and welcome! I am Mrs. Debbie. I am so excited that we are going to
spend this year together. We are going to have fun playing and learning.
When you come to school look for the barn flag and the barn on the door, and
you can find our classroom - room 11.
I want to tell you a little about myself. I have lived in Martin for most of
my life. I graduated from Westview High School. I attended UTM where I
earned my BS degree in Early Childhood Education and a MS in Curriculum and
Instruction with a focus on reading. I have taught kindergarten for the
past 23 years and I still think it is fun. I am married to Doug Barner. We
celebrated our 25th anniversary this summer! Until recently, he worked with
his father and two brothers on the family's dairy farm. We milked holstein
cows. If you have ever drank Turner milk, you may have been drinking milk
from our cows. And no, our cows only gave white milk - not chocolate or
strawberry!! I enjoy living on our farm. I often see deer, raccoons,
oppossums, rabbits and many different kinds of birds. I had two
hummingbirds that I watched eating from my bird feeder this summer.
I have two sons. Dusty is my oldest son. He is 21 years old and a senior
at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Derek is my youngest son and he
is a junior at Westview High School. In addition to several black and
white calves, I have a brown dog named Duke and a yellow dog named Drake.
Play is the way a child learns what no one else can teach him.
When a child goes to school, he carries his head, his body and his heart -
All of these need attention.
Children are people - They grow into tomorrow as they live today.
