Hi, I'm Mrs. Shaffer and this is my third year teaching at Brookwood. I am so excited to get to know your wonderful children. I have been teaching a grand total of seven years-- four of which were in 2nd grade, and three in 3rd. I am a proud graduate of both Florida State University and Augusta University. Go 'Noles!
This year will be my first in Kindergarten and I cannot WAIT to get started. Your kiddos and I will be embarking on this exciting adventure together.
My undergraduate degree is in Psychology and my master's degree is in Early Childhood Education. Since I have been in the classroom I have received my Gifted Endorsement and ESOL certification.
My life outside of school is very relaxed. I have a wonderful husband and two rambunctious boys-- an almost 8 year old, and a 4 year old that's starting Pre-K this year. I enjoy reading, knitting, crocheting, gardening, camping in the mountains and all things sci-fi and fantasy. Marvel movies are my jam! Oh, and coffee. Can't forget coffee!
My classroom goal is to always have a place where students feel safe, included, supported, and most of all a place to find love and a sense of belonging. This will take shape in many forms--including dancing, singing, hugs, shout outs, and so much more.
Above all else, I want all my parents to know that we are a team!! We both have your child's best interest at heart and want to see them grow and succeed. Feel free to reach out to me and I'll respond as quickly as I can during working hours.
