Welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Mrs. Claxton. I grew up in Orange Cove and attended Kings Canyon District all the way through high school. I went to Fresno State and quickly discovered that teaching was what my heart wanted. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies, a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, I hold a Multiple Subject Credential and have been TK certified.
I taught 1st grade for 4 years in Fresno Unified which I absolutely loved. The littles make me the happiest! I decided to leave Fresno because working in a small district has been what I’ve always wanted. I’m so lucky to have found a home at Clay and I'm very excited to be part of this community.
I have been married to Mr. Claxton for two years. Together we have two awesome pups; a 4-year-old chihuahua and a 3-year-old Shiba Inu. My favorite things include watching TV, reading, snacking and spending time with family.
I can’t wait to get to know everyone more. We’re going to learn so many new things and we’re going to have lots of fun doing it!
