Welcome to Mrs. Phillips' 1st Grade Class!
The First Grade Team is comprised of Annie Phillips, Nancy Turnipseed, and Kathryn VanDuzer. We all work very closely together and collaborate on all first grade lessons. We like to say, First Grade Team...BEST TEAM! :) What a gift to have coworkers you can call friends, too!
This year, each class has 1-2 support teachers that will be coming to our LIVE crew meetings Monday-Tuesday/Thursday-Friday. You might see them at other times throughout the week, too!
I am the media specialist at Glennwood, and I LOVE reading! I especially love reading with all my students. One of my favorite books of all time is The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. It is going to be a movie very soon. If everyone lived their lives like Ivan, our world would be a much better place. I can’t wait to read some great books with you this school year and also learn more about what you like to read. Eagle Readers S.O.A.R high!
My family and I live in Atlanta, but we are from Rome, Georgia. My husband Champ and I have one daughter, Anna Grace who is soon to be a college freshman at Samford University. We also have one fur baby, Holly Bell, who is an 8-year-old Cavapoo. We love all things Disney and Georgia football. Go Dawgs!
I am the Media Clerk here at Glennwood Elementary. That is a fancy title for librarian - which is a person who works with books. I LOVE books. This summer, I read 15 of them! I hope you have been working on your reading, too. You can email me anytime if you need help finding just the right book to read!
My family and I live right around the corner from Glennwood. I have a husband, Alan, and two children - Pete, who is a 6th grader at Renfroe Middle School and Claire, who is a senior at Decatur High School.
