Ms. Rebecca Schweiker

This is my fifth year at Sulphur Springs and my fourth year teaching first grade. I am the yearbook sponser this year as well as the Cross Country and Track and Field Coach. A little bit about me: I received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education with a Science Emphasis from Murray State University. I received my Masters Degree in Reading Education from ETSU. During my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to teach grades K-4 as well as RTI. Growing up I always wanted to be a teacher. My mom was a professor and I remember going into her college class and thinking how fun it would be to reach children like she did with her college students. I saw the impact she made in the lives of her students and some (even 20 years later) still reach out to her and they catch up on where life has taken them. I strive to be a teacher like that, one who is dedicated to her students not only inside but outside of the classroom. My goal is to give my students lots of tools and strategies they can use to be the best they can be. I absolutely love coming in every day and seeing the love of learning in my students. I am blessed with two children; a son who is 17 and loves to weightlift; and a daughter who is 12 and loves to ride horses. We spend quite a bit of time at the barn and I enjoy every minute. I also have two dogs that are super funny and totally spoiled. If you ever need to reach me, please feel free to call me at 423-754-1140 or email me at schweikerr@wcde.org.
