Welcome to my online classroom! My name is Nikki Smith. This school year begins my 26th year of teaching. I have previously taught first, second, and third grades.
I am married to Adam Smith and we have four children. Anna is beginning her third year in college pursuing a degree in dental hygiene. Sophie is beginning her second year in college at Georgia Northwestern. Parker and Cooper are in the 10th grade at Rockmart High School. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I love all of my fur babies (all dogs)- Sammy, Maggie, Dozer, and Rueger! I also enjoy reading, shopping, and going to the beach!!
Educational Philosophy
I have always felt that teaching is an opportunity to love children and empower them throughout their learning. I believe it is imperative to create a safe, positive, and fair environment where all students can learn from one another and feel safe and comfortable to share their thoughts and ideas. My decision to become a teacher was instilled in me by my grandmother at a very early age. As a little girl, I always loved playing school so there was no doubt I would be a teacher one day. It is the best and most rewarding job!
