About Me

Dear Parents & Caregivers,

I am extremely excited to introduce myself as your child’s new English Language Arts and Social Studies teacher for the school year -- My name is Ms. Hughes. I am a graduate of the University of Florida’s Unified Elementary ProTeach Program. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Elementary Education. My teaching experience and background include fieldwork in classrooms and community-based settings. My background work includes working with students in general and special education, counseling and child development, and English language learners. Upon graduation this December I will receive a Reading Endorsement from the Florida Department of Education. I am thrilled to be working with your child this year! My overall goal is to guide students to become curious, caring, and confident individuals. I aim to accomplish this through implementing team building activities and cooperative learning structures. I am greatly looking forward to learning and growing with your kiddos! Outside of the classroom, I love spending time in nature, listening to live music, and cooking plant-based recipes. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments, or concerns. I am looking forward to an amazing year!

Kind Regards,

Ms. Hughes
