Welcome to Our Classroom!

My name is Liz Putnam and I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year!  I have been teaching school for 24 years, in a variety of classroom settings.  I have an Early Childhood Master's Degree from the College of Charleston and a Bachelor's in Education from the University of Georgia.  This is my 14th year teaching at Brushy Creek Elementary School.  

When I am not in the classroom, I love the outdoors.  My family enjoys camping, hiking, and taking trips together.  I also find time to walk, run, and swim. I enjoy cooking, reading, growing flowers, and playing with our dog, Cadie.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe all children have rights and are born with special gifts to share with our world.  As a teacher, I am here to support children on their journey, providing rich opportunities through engaging materials, that enhance their thinking and development.  I am here to question with them, walk beside them, as well as, to be a leader for them.  I value, expect, and nurture participation from everyone within the school community: parents, children, teachers, and the community at large.

 I love my students! I love my job!  I love my school!
