I am married to Roy Woods, a teacher. We got married last November! I have been teaching for 15 years, including 6 years at Bonne Ecole Elementary School. I believe in creating a supportive classroom environment where students feel like part of a family and are empowered to direct their own learning.

2. 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

3. Prepare your child for fourth grade!
Teach them to use and be comfortable with
technology
Give them the skills they need to be

themselves

own questions
