Hi there, I'm Mrs. Barnes. I've been teaching for over 20 years. I am a graduate of Western Michigan University, with a master's degree in early childhood education from Grand Valley State University. I'm also a wife and a mom to two girls. Kaitlin is 18 and is a student at Western Michigan University and Emma is 16 and a junior in high school. Mr. Barnes and I do a lot of traveling together and with our girls. I love to be outdoors and I do a lot of running. I also love taking my dog Ruby (a minuature Golden Doodle) for walks too. Most importantly, I love teaching kindergarten.
