MEET YOUR TEACHER!

My name is Natalie Byrd and this is my first (official) year of teaching. I graduated East Tennessee State University in May 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I graduated with 1 year of teaching experience gained through the KAT program with Kingsport City Schools, where I taught Kindergarten for a full year. I attended West View, Grandview, and graduated from David Crockett High School so I am a product of WCDE and love our community dearly! 

My wish is that I help your student......

-succeed in Kindergarten

-foster a love for learning and see learning as fun

-regulate their emotions

-work and play with others

We are going to have an AWESOME YEAR! :)
