Welcome to Kindergarten,

My name is Annie Brinkley. I have taught in NC public schools for 26 years. For the past 23 years, I have been in kindergarten. I absolutely ADORE this age group, because of their curiosity! It is my goal to set your child up for a successful, and enjoyable school career. It is rewarding to see them learning each day. I often hear from my prior students, when they are in college and in their careers, and I hope to keep in touch with you in the future.

When I am not at school, I enjoy reading and chatting with my book club friends. Lately, I have been reading European historical fiction.  I also like traveling with my husband, now that our children are adults. We never go far, but we always enjoy learning about the history of different cities, it's people, and the yummy local food! 

I have found, after years of experience, that the most successful students have a few things in common. First, they attend school, on-time, every day. Of course, when we have fevers, it's recommended we stay home for 24 hours. Next, you need to feel comfortable talking with me, because when we work together, we make a great team! I am available through email, and Class Dojo. I can call you after school, if you prefer a phone call. Finally, I recommend that children have a consistent bedtime routine, and get plenty of sleep. 

Best Regards,

Mrs. Annie S. Brinkley
