Ready For Kindergarten!

 

I am so excited to get started on our learning adventure together this year in Kindergarten. I can't wait to meet each of my new friends. We are going to have a great year of wonder.

  

My name is Kristin Baird. I have a wonderful husband (Aaron) and 3 amazing children (Morgan 9, Austin 7 and Baylor 4). I have a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I love teaching and watching young minds explore and learn. This will be my 10th year teaching. This will be my first year at Oakland Elementary and I am very excited. I am from Tennessee, but we have lived here in South Carolina for almost 4 years. I enjoy going to church, spending time with my family and cheering on the Tennessee Vols.

 

This year we will be learning and exploring a lot of fun things. Here at Oakland and in our classroom we do a lot of activities that include Project Based Learning. This is a really awesome way for the kids to get involved with their own learning and includes lots of hands on fun.
