I am so blessed to be at an AMAZING school like Oakland Elementary! This is my 4th year teaching at Oakland and I have enjoyed every moment! I attended the University of South Carolina where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and I will begin my Master's Degree in General Education this Fall at Anderson University. I grew up and went to school in the Boiling Springs community. I married the love of my life in December 2012 and we reside in the Boiling Springs area. On September 16, 2013 we added a NEW and BEAUTIFUL addition to our family; a beautiful baby girl named Harper Klae. Harper is the most precious gift we've ever been given. God chose to entrust this precious, hilarious, independent, rough-and-tumble girl into our care and it has been the best blessing ever. I love EVERYTHING about my job, especially the wonderful fourth graders I get to spend time and work with each day!

Also, is there anything interesting you want to share on the blog that you have done over the summer? Comment below if so and we will share in class.

Homework already?!?!?! :) No worries...the teacher is even doing this homework!
First impressions are important, so be sure to start planning for our “Things I Treasure” project. Brainstorm a list of people, activities, places and things that you love! Now decide how you want to display your treasures on a map you will be given. at "Meet the Teacher;" it looks just like this.
You will use drawings, pictures, and/or words and put them right on the map. This will be due on the 2nd day of school. It’s how you will introduce yourself to our class. I can't wait to see what everyone "treasures" the most!
**Also don't forget the EXTRA CREDIT opportunity that was given to each student at the beginning of summer, these must be turned in the first week of school to be counted**
