I am excited to announce that I will be a 3rd grade teacher at Knox Elementary! Anyone who knows me knows how bad I wanted to teach in Cherokee, and now I get to live out that dream. I am thankful to be going from a Nighthawk to a Knight! ⚔️Knox ES Knights #uKnighted #BeKind

Part of being authentic with students is letting them know you don’t know it all and that you do make mistakes and that both are ok. They will relate better when they see you as human.

Can’t wait for all the memories I am going to make with my kiddos💛 #firstyearteacher #ccsdfam #uknighted

The best kind of compliment💛 You are an awesome teacher @LeaderNLearning

Thinking Like A Scientist this week! We used Mystery Science to learn about observing and coming up with questions about everyday things. The students got to put what they wondered on the poster. Interesting to see what kids wonder about! #CCSD Knox ES Knights

Created models of the United States in Social Studies today using molds and salt dough! We are using them to paint the 6 major rivers and 2 major mountain ranges in the United States. Such a fun, hands-on activity 🌎⛰ Knox ES Knights Cherokee Co. Schools

We are working on animal adaptations.The Ss listened to the “What if You Had” series and chose 3 animal adaptations to draw on their own picture. They then had to type a paragraph explaining why that adaptation would be helpful! Working on our creativity 🖌Knox ES Knights

In 3rd grade we learn about voting and why it is important. We researched past election posters, made a plan, and designed posters encouraging our community members to go vote tomorrow in the elections! #vote Knox ES Knights
