I'm excited to be your child's literacy and social studies teacher. It's a true blessing to have a job that I'm passionate about. Here's a little background information on me:
This is my twenty-third year teaching. I've taught many different grades, starting with high school and college English, and then moving to elementary school where I found what I love doing most. I've taught kindergarten, second, third, and fourth grades, but this year I'm teaching fifth grade.
I have a Bachelors degree in English Education, and a Masters degree as an elementary school reading specialist, and I am nationally certified as a reading and writing teacher.
I've been happily married to my high school sweetheart, Jim Hitchcock, for 30 years. He is an engineer with Little Debbie. We have two great children. Our son, Andrew, followed in my footsteps and will be teaching this year. My daughter, Katie Jo, is a sophomore at UTK majoring in architecture.
I was raised by a family of educators, and knew early on that teaching was my gift. It gives me great joy when I see children get excited about learning. I take pride in preparing fun, meaningful lessons that motivate kids to do their very best. I absolutely love my job!
