Hello, and welcome to our classroom community! My name is Mrs. Haynie, and I’ll be your child’s teacher this year. I have been teaching in the Austin area for the past 5 years in 4th grade. I am so excited to be your child’s teacher. I love building classroom community and helping students develop a lifelong passion for learning (especially Reading!)
I attended Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, and my degree is in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I have had training in Child Life as well as completing a course in Social Emotional wellness and Mindfulness in the classroom, AND a Yoga teacher certification program.
When not teaching, I am usually watching something on TV with my husband, two dogs, and a cat. We also have three children - Jared, 25, is in the Marines (and married to Mady), Jack, 23, works in auto maintenance, and Jenna, 20, who works in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing in New York. I love air conditioning and my morning Starbucks. My heart beats for Tacos, pretty things, Broadway musicals, Topo Chico, and True Crime, maybe Taylor Swift, too! (and I am gluten-free, too!)
Chips and Salsa!
FYI - I am gluten free.
I don't even know how to pick one favorite book. But I love the Harry Potter series.
Binge watching TV, shopping online and hanging with my family
Reading books is always the best
Chocolate ... yum
Plain Topo Chico!
Blue and Green, probably Pink too.
Dogs and my cat. But only my cat. Dogs rule.
