Meet your Teacher
Mrs. Kirkland
Hi everyone, I am excited to get to play an important role in your students' life this year. Here are a few facts about me.
I obtained my Bachelors in Middle Grades Education from Augusta University in 2018 , a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Georgia Southern University in 2021, and a Specialist in Teacher Leadership from Georgia College and State University in 2023.
I am certified to teach Middle Grades Math and Science.
I am married and have two daughters, Kelseigh and Kamrynn.
My favorite color is red, my favorite candy is Reese's Buttercups, and my favorite soda is Pepsi.
I have taught 6th & 7th grade before
I cannot see a thing without glasses or contacts
I'm a student too! Well not anymore, as of May. BUT i'm sure I'll be heading back to college again soon. So, I understand your prespectives as a student.
My favorite tv show is Grey's Anatomy.
Teaching Philosophy
My sole purpose of becoming a teacher was to make a positive impact in a child's life. I am challenged with teaching them math and science, however, if given the opportunity to teach them a life lesson, I will take full advantage of it. I want my students to not only remember me as the teacher that taught them math or science, but as the teacher that taught them something that stuck with them throughout their lifetime. My classroom will be warm, inviting, engaging, and safe for all students. We will learn new things together, explore new ideas, and build each other up. I look forward to teaching my students this year.
Sincerely,
Mrs. S. Kirkland
