Meet the Teacher

Hi! My name is Mrs. Cox and I am very excited to be your teacher this year in Kindergarten! I'm looking forward to a year of fun learning and adventure. I can't wait to learn all about you, but first I'll tell you a little about me.

I was born and raised in Boones Creek, and I even went to school here at Boones Creek Elementary. I graduated from ETSU and received my master's degree from Tusculum College. I have taught school for 26 years, one year in first grade and the rest in Kindergarten. I live in Gray with my husband and two boys.

There is so much I'm looking forward to this year! Some of the things we will learn about this year are bats, owls, planets, plants and insects. For language arts we will learn all the letters and sounds of the alphabet, reading and my favorite writing sentences and stories! We will do many writing projects throughout the year. I can't wait to meet you and get started into the school year.

A few of my favorite things:

Favorite color - pink

Favorite season - fall

Favorite animal - dogs

Favorite vacation - going to the beach

Favorite shoes - flip flops

Favorite hobby - swimming and watching baseball
