Welcome to Ms. Turnipseed's 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!
Mrs. Copp is an EIP Teacher/MTSS Co-Coordinator
I've taught for 15 years and have experience as a kindergarten, first, and second grade teacher and am currently an Early Intervention Program Teacher at Glennwood. I love teaching children how to read and gain number sense. My husband, Charlie, and I have two children named Baxter (6) and Bennett (10) and a dog named Chance (2). Baxter will be a first grader at Glennwood in Ms. VanDuzer's class, and Bennett will be 5th grader at Talley Street. We love Decatur and live in the Winnona Park area. It is my pleasure to be a part of Ms. Turnipseed's crew, and I look forward to participating in our upcoming crew meetings.
Mrs. Dishman is our Media Clerk.
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.
