We will be doing a lot of learning by completing projects to build higher order thinking skills as well a cooperative learning groups. My School day begins at 7:40 and ends at 2:30. I will begin our days promptly.  At 7:40,instruction will begin. We will start our Success For All reading groups at 7:50-9:20. Please try to have your child to school on time. Come prepared to learn each day because we are going for the goal of high student achievement, excellent character, and perfect attendance. Please make sure you check your child's agenda book daily.  Important information will be sent home throughout the week. Please make sure that your child's homework is completed daily. All these things will help your child be successful in  my class.  
     I have three wonderful kids and a loving husband whom love very much. I received my Bachelor's degree at Benedict College in early childhood education. After earning my degree, I wanted to give back to my community. That's why I came back to Bishopville because I believed I could make a difference in the lives of our children. I have been teaching now for 20 years. Each year, I learn something new. My students are constantly teaching me to become a more effective teacher. I also have a Master's degree in Learning Disabilities from Francis Marion University. This allows me to use the strategies I learned to aid in the success of students with learning disabilities as well as students in regular education. I believe that every child is talented in his/her own way. My job is to bring that talent out. That's why I am a dedicated teacher who wants nothing but the best for my children.
