I am married to Roy Woods, a teacher. We got married last November!

I graduated from LSU with a Master’s degree in Elementary Education in 1997.

This is my 15th year teaching and my 6th year at Bonne Ecole.

I believe that learning starts with my students feeling like they are an important part of our classroom “family” and giving them the power to be in charge of their own learning

Prepare your child for fourth grade! Teach them to use and be comfortable

with technology Give them the skills they need to be

independent learners Learn to respect their classmates as

well as themselves Teach them to be responsible and

organized Encourage them to find the answers to

their own questions

We use the school wide PBS expectations of being positive, safe, responsible, and respectful as our classroom rules Students are rewarded for following these expectations Consequences are given when they have failed to follow them
