About the teacher

Dear Parents,

I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year! I will work hard to make sure that your child has a successful year, and I know that with your ongoing support we can achieve this goal. 

I want to tell you a little about myself.  I grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee, received my degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and eventually moved to Nashville.  I lived in Nashville for six years before moving to Atlanta, where I found my husband, Rick.  I say found because we met in high school, but had not seen each other in eight years.  Our reunion came when I found him walking down an exit ramp in Midtown, while I was stuck in traffic.  He was coming out of a Georgia Tech basketball game. We recently celebrated our eighth year wedding anniversary, and we have a six year old daughter named Lexi and a toddler named Luke. 

  This year will be my eighth year teaching and I have found that the more I teach, the more I learn.  I believe that each and every one of us has talents to share and in turn teach one another.  I will foster this belief in my classroom and ask the students to gather and present information to the class, so that we may learn from each other.  Additionally, I will utilize a variety of projects, activities and assessments, so that each student has the opportunity to let their talents and skills shine.  I look forward to teaching your child, and I especially look forward to the learning community that we will create together.

  Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns and use the communication vehicles provided including:

Sincerely,

Mrs. Oldham
