Meet.....Mrs. Adkins!
- Hello and welcome to my class! I am excited to be teaching your child this year. This is year 23 of my teaching career! Fourth grade is by far, the most exciting grade level to teach! This year will be full of exciting learning, field trips, place based education activities, and fun, fun, FUN!!
- My Mission Statement: Being a teacher is not just a "job" for me - it's a calling to love, educate, and nurture my students each and every day. I believe in the ability of each and every child. I expect the very best from each student, not only academically, but also behaviorally and socially. I will devote the entire year to loving, uplifting and educating your children. I will help my students create a positive self image that will encourage them to be successful in their learning. Each day, my focus is to instill a love of learning in my students and help them to see the ability they have within themselves.
- My husband, Chuck, and I have been blessed with three wonderful daughters! Emily is 21 years old and is in her senior year at the University of Wyoming. She plans to be a secondary History teacher, with an emphasis in Holocaust Studies. Haley is 17 years old and is a senior at Kelly Walsh. She is a busy girl - she is on the Kelly Walsh Dance Team, she takes classes at the college, and works at Metro Coffee Shop. Finally, Ellie Jane is eight years old and is in third grade at Southridge!! She likes to dance, play soccer, and wants to try volleyball and basketball. As you can see, we are a very busy family, but in our "down time" we love to camp, spend time at the lake, go boating and surfing, go for bike rides, read, and watch movies!
- You can contact me at the school (253-1900) Monday through Friday around 8:00 a.m - 4:00 p.m. We have frequent staff meetings, committee meetings, or IEP/student meetings before and after school. If you leave me a message I will get back with you as soon as possible. You can also email me at [email protected] or through ClassDojo. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns!
- I am looking forward to a wonderful and exciting year with your fourth grader! Thank you for sharing your child with me!
