My name is Angie Spears. I am starting my 27th year in education. I am teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th Social Studies and conducting library. My planning period is from 2:00-3:00 each day. All students need to make sure that they have paper, pencils, books, and assignments in class each day.
I try to post on the bottom of this page what we discussed each day. I also post upcoming events, such as tests dates, on this page. This lets parents see what we are doing in class, as well as lets students who were absent know what they need to catch up.
If you need to contact me by e-mail, the address is aspears@clayedu.com. You may also call school (615-699-2414) during my planning time from.
