    *I am originally from Mount Airy, NC.

    Home to
    Andy Griffith
    *I graduated from NC State with my Bachelors
    of Science in Elementary Education
    *This is my 3rd year teaching 5th grade at
    Carpenter.
    *I am getting married in October!
    *I am passionate about what I do
    *I love traveling
    I WILL:
    *Establish & maintain a caring community
    environment
    *Adhere to and teach the curriculum
    standards
    *Offer multiple methods of instruction
    * Communicate with you frequently regarding
    both class and individual student needs
    Students are expected to:

    *Come to school prepared & ready to learn


    *Follow school & classroom code of conduct to maximize
    time spent learning
    *Display respect, integrity & accountability by completing
    assignments and homework & turning them in on time
    *Treat their classmates with respect & kindness
    *Stay positive!
    Our 5th grade leaders are expected to follow the school-wide
    BE LIKE CARY code of conduct at all times.
    Our leaders are the role models for the entire school and
    should see themselves and conduct themselves as such.
    Our leaders should abide by the Wake County Student
    Handbook that was sent home on the first day of school.
    I have VERY HIGH EXPECTATIONS with regards to student
    behavior in my classroom.

    Students are expected to demonstrate integrity and respect whether


    working independently, with a partner or in a small group setting.

    Students that make the choice to behave in a manner that does not
    meet expectations will be provided 2 redirections and then a reflection
    referral will be sent home.
    Consistent Expectations help students to know exactly what is
    expected from them each day, which gives them confidence.

    Students monitor themselves and take more responsibility for their


    behavior — and their learning.
    Students gain a sense of safety and security.
