I have taught first grade forever : ) and there is no place I'd rather be. First graders are wonderful people who work hard, have terrific attitudes and grow unbelievably in one school year. I went to college at Samford University and have always taught in Decatur City Schools except for the year that I was the first AMSTI Math and Science specialist in the state. My husband and I have one daughter , a son- in- law and and a grandson.
