Welcome and About the Teacher

Hi! My name is Mrs. Daugherty, and I’m SO excited to be your teacher! It’s going to be a fun year filled with learning. I want to know ALL about you, but first I’m going to tell you a little about me. I grew up in Acworth/Kennesaw, Georgia. I am the oldest of three children. I have a sister and a brother. My sister has a son that is three years old. I love being an aunt!

I went to college at the University of Georgia. Go DAWGS! I earned my degree in early childhood education and worked with all grades K-5. I student taught in kindergarten and enjoyed every moment. This is my fourth year teaching. My first year, I taught Pre-K at Parklane Elementary in Fulton County. Then, I transferred to kindergarten at River Eves. I am happy to be back at REES with our fabulous kindergarten team. My favorite part of being a teacher is watching the growth from August to May as well as seeing the eagerness to learn.

I celebrated my one year wedding anniversary this summer and am enjoying each adventure with my husband. We enjoy playing board games, watching sports, and attempting to play tennis together. I took lessons this summer-you're never too old to learn something new!

I’m thrilled to be your teacher, and I know it will be a fantastic year!

Some of my favorites:
Colors- Purple and Green
Food- Pizza or Mexican
Fast Food- Chickfila
Dessert- Icecream
Drink- Water and coffee...gotta keep up with the kids!
Hobby- Making new recipes
Sport- football (to watch); tennis(to play)
Animal- Panda
Subject to teach- I enjoy them all but my favorite is probably writing.
Children's Book- It's always changing. Kevin Henkes is a great author for picture books, and I enjoy reading Chrysanthemum at the beginning of the school year.
