About Mrs. Moore

Hello!

My name is Beth Moore. I have been a teacher for over ten years and love what I do! It took me several years to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up! For starters, I have been married to Brian Moore for 17 years! We have twin boys who are now 15, time really does get quicker as we age! They are now sophomores in high school.

When I graduated from high school, I had NO idea what I wanted to do. I went to college for a year and decided it wasn't for me! So I took some classes at a trade school to become a dental assistant. I worked as an assistant for several years and my doctor sent me to I.U. Dental School to become an expanded assistant. This basically meant I could place fillings as well as assist in preparing teeth for treatment. I loved what I was doing but I always felt like something was missing.

At the age of 27, I returned to Purdue University to get my bachelor's degree in elementary education. I then got pregnant with twin boys! So, I cut down my work load and went to school part time. This allowed me to focus on my boys! When the boys turned two, I was ready to finish up my schooling. In 2007, I graduated from Purdue University on the Dean's List!

My first classroom was a 5th grade class at Carroll Consolidated School in Flora, Indiana. I taught Language Arts in a departmentalized setting. I enjoyed my time there but was laid off (riffed) due to budget restraints and the lack of seniority. I worked as a maternity leave substitute for TSC and then taught music at Prairie Crossing in Oxford. Once again, I was laid off so I went and taught 5th grade at Sacred Heart in Fowler, Indiana. I taught at Sacred Heart for eight years. Last year was my first year at SN. I love it here!

I love music! That is one reason why I am working with the Honor Choir. I am many, many years of playing piano, flute, guitar, and piccolo. I even marched at Purdue! (Boiler Up!) My music has always been a great outlet for me! I have also sang in many choirs, performed in dramas, and in Winter-guard I did rifles, sabers, and flags. Another thing I enjoy greatly is technology! I love to learn new things that involve tech! I really enjoy incorporating it into the classroom! Overall, I really enjoy the l enjoy the learning process.

I am excited to be at South Newton! If you have questions or concerns, please email me at mooreb@newton.k12.in.us .
