I
have taught at Iredell all my career, which
began in 1979. I taught junior high
history, science, and Chapter I reading about
ten of those years, which means I have a broad
base of experience. The rest of that time
was spent in elementary school, mainly fourth
grade. I would love to teach through the
2009-2010 school year, giving me 30 years in the
classroom. What I will remember when I am
in the nursing home will be the funny moments.
I have wished I had kept a diary, but so many of
those moments you would have to act out, and
would be hard to put in writing. Kids are
so surprising, and so amazing, and they never
cease to astound me with the things they will
say and do. Laughing is a great thing, and
humor is a wonderful teaching tool.
On a personal basis, my dear husband Tom and I
moved to Iredell in 1977. We never dreamed
we would stay here, but it quickly became home.
Our three children, Sherry, Kristy, and Beau,
all went to school here from K/PreK through high
school. All three have graduated from Tarleton State University. Our first
grandchild was added to our family in September,
2006.
We have a wonderful school, and I am so proud to
be a part of it. |
