introduction

Hi, my name is Ann and I am a third grade teacher at Whitley East Elementary School in Whitley County, KY. I am originally from Ohio but since college have lived in a lot of places. I have taught primarily 3rd and 4th grades for 16 years. I have taught in West Virginia, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Brazil. I LOVE teaching and the varying experiences I have had in each of these places. I have three children who keep me VERY busy. Daniel is in the 8th grade. He plays football, wrestles and is trying soccer for the first time this year. Luke is in the 6th grade. He plays football, basketball, baseball and wants to try soccer this spring for the first time also. (Should be interesting playing 2 sports at once. I may very well go crazy!) Tori is in the 4th grade. She plays the piano, loves the theater and has been in several plays including University of the Cumberland's "Seussical" this past fall. She cheers for Upward basketball and will play tennis this spring. I love to garden and read in all the "free time" that I have. :) I am looking forward to the exposure I will have to children's literature in this class. I am nervous about all of the technology involved!
