Welcome to Our kinder classroom!  I am so excited for all the wonderful learning that will be going on this year!  I am new to Franklin ISD however, I am not new to teaching!  I have taught kindergarten, second grade and have been the ESL teacher for my previous school.  Kindergarten is my passion and the grade level that I have taught the most.  

I have been married to Mr. McGowen for 39 years and we have two children.  Christopher lives in Maryland and he has a set of twins Chiron and Kassandra who are in pre-k.   Kristi lives in Iowa Colony and has three  girls Scarlett, Chandler and Sloane.  Scarlett started first grade this year, Chandler started kindergarten and Sloane is 9 months old. 

 I believe every child has gifts,  we just open them at different times.  Know that they are loved and we will work together to make this a great year and a place they will love to come to each day!  My door is always open so please feel free to contact me for ANY concerns you may have no matter how big but mostly no matter how small.
