About the Teacher

My name is Sharon Gillespie.  I am beginning my 26th year of teaching;  24 of which have been spent teaching fourth grade.  I guess that makes me a veteran teacher.  However, it just means I know what it takes to help children grow as learners, and I hope, to help them succeed.  

 I graduated from USC with my degree in Elementary Education. Since then, I have taken many hours of classes and workshops to enhance my teaching. This includes becoming an art integration specialist.  I try to include many forms of art experience in my teaching to help all students learn in different and engaging ways.

I am married and I have two children; Hannah is 27 and Heath is 19.  I live close to the North Carolina border in northern Greenville County with my family plus a dog and two cats.
