HI! I'm Mrs. Arthur!
This is my 10th year teaching at Atoka Elementary School. It is my dream come true to be a teacher; I find great joy in being part of shaping the future paths of our students...and I love my students! First can be a challenging year, but we use these challenges as building blocks to success. Together we will learn tons of strategies to add to your academic "toolbox!" It is my goal to prepare our students for 2nd grade and beyond the classroom. Along with these academic gains, I look to help my students make personal gains, such as, accountability, personal responsibility, and kindness. I am eager to see each of our students grow and mature academically and behaviorally throughout our year together! I know this will come with lots of great memories too!
A little about me:
I have three boys, Caden, Bo Banks, and Brooks......and they are "all boy!" Caden will be a freshman at Munford High School, Bo Banks will be a 5th grader, and my baby, Brooks starts kindergarten here at Atoka too. Since I have a house full of boys, I adopted a sweet fur baby girl into the family. Our cat, Georgia. We all love to be outdoors. You can find us at the ball field all year long. My boys enjoy playing sports, especially football. We are huge Tennessee Vols fans!
