I am excited to be the 3rd Grade MATH Teacher at Grandiew Elementary School. I know that we will become a family and learn together. I am starting my 18th year of teaching. I am a graduate of Tusculum College where I received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education. I have received my Education Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from LMU. I love teaching and knowing that what I do in my classroom paves the way for my students to learn in the future. I can't wait to work with students this year in 3rd grade. 

I am blessed to be a part of ETSU's iSLICEE program. I will be working with our student teacher, Ms. Dylan Singleton to incorporate technology to make engaging lessons. My third graders will have access to working in my classroom with coding, robots, and various digital components to make learning interesting to them. Ms. Singleton will be working on her preparation to complete her edTPA which will allow her to become a teacher when she graduates. 

I share what we are doing in the classroom on Twitter. Please follow me if you would like to have an inside peek into our classroom. @HShelton3rd

I am a native of Greene County, where I graduated from South Greene High School. I am married to Scottie who is the current Grandview Volleyball coach.  We have two girls, Sydney (15)  who is a Sophomore at David Crockett and a member of the Crockett volleyball team. Bree (11) is in 6th grade here at Grandview. We currently reside in Limestone. We have two miniature daschunds, Tyko and Kobi. I enjoy reading, the outdoors, and volleyball. We love volleyball so much, we built a full-sized sand court in our backyard this past spring and we enjoy having girls over to play in the sand to improve volleyball skills.
