Meet Mrs. Turner
I love teaching first graders! The students come to school eager and ready to learn each day. They truly make coming to school fun. I love watching them grow tremendously through the year both socially and academically. The best part of my day is when a student has an "aha" moment and things start clicking and making sense! The smile on the children's faces when this happens is marvelous.
I grew up in the small farming town of Marshall, Missouri. One of my favorite things to do is go back home and spend time with my family! We enjoy playing tennis, camping, and walking trails together. I attended Missouri Valley College and earned a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. Then I attended Mizzou and earned a Masters in Education. I absolutely love learning and am so lucky to teach because I learn a lot from the kiddos each and every day!! I consider myself a life-long learner and hope to demonstrate this love for learning to the children in my class.
I love spending time with my husband, Derek, our daughter Lillian, and our two dogs, Tex and Luna. I get to share many funny stories about these two dogs and I get to hear the students silly pet stories! Derek and I love every moment of being newer parents! We have lots to learn!!! We love to go on walks together and the dogs enjoy rolling around in the grass or chasing each other. I am a fan of football both college and professional! During football season, you'll catch me cheering on the Green Bay Packers (yep, I'm a cheesehead). Go Pack Go. I recently picked up knitting and continue to build on this skill. On rainy days, I always enjoy a good book while Lillian naps. Otherwise, my rainy days have turned into entertaining a baby! I love teaching at Lee because of our belief in learning through the arts and enjoy supporting the learning of first graders with this belief in mind!
I look forward to working with your family this year!
