Hi, there! I'm Mrs. Whitney!
I grew up here in Decatur County, received my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Tennessee at Martin, and was lucky enough to get a job at the same elementary school I attended as a child. This will be my ninth year teaching Kindergarten, and I absolutely LOVE it! I am passionate about early childhood learning and developmentally appropriate practices. I try to make learning fun and help my students to love school.
My husband, Jacob, and I have 3 daughters: Kyleigh, Clara, and Mary Cate. We also have three dogs! Our favorite place to be is the Great Smoky Mountains. We like to hike and our girls love to play in the creeks.
I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! I'm looking forward to a GREAT year!
