Welcome

My name is Kayla Shook, and I've been teaching at Oak Creek for 7 years. Each year it is my goal to create a classroom that is safe both physically and emotionally for my students. I love them with all my heart and do my best to facilitate a community of learners who  are kind and respectful. 

As for my family outside of school...I have been married to my husband, Paul, for 17 years. We have 3 boys, Rory, Reid, and Reiss. Rory is 12 and in middle school this year. Adjusting to life without a child on campus has been interesting. But he's finding his way at CMS. Go Jags! Reid is 4 and FULL of life and energy. He will definitely be the life of the party in coming years! And then Reiss is 2. He's a little firecracker, himself! He LOVES anything that involves dinosaurs. We spend lots of hours talking about all the different kinds of dinosaurs, reading about them, doing puzzles with dinosaurs...that boy just loves him some dinosaurs!! We absolutely adore them all! My hobbies include running around after toddlers at this point in my life. #boymom

Who else LOVES baseball? The Texas Rangers are my favorite team! I really enjoy watching ALL baseball, and you'll find me at the ball fields watching the kiddos, too!

Thanks for stopping by. My door is always open if you need anything! My MAIN mode of communication is through the Remind app, so please reach out there first!
