Mrs. Atwood, teacher
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Kindergarten! My name is Cherie Atwood and I am SO excited to be your child's kindergarten teacher!
Here is a little bit about me...
I grew up in Michigan but have lived in North Carolina for many years now. I met my husband Brian (who is a Boston native) in Dallas and we are blessed to have two wonderful daughters. Mikayla (17) is a track star, dancer and future engineer. Our youngest daughter, Delaney is 14, an award-winning poet, dancer and softball player. Both attend Cardinal Gibbon High School. We also have a Morkie named Rudy - 10 pounds of pure puppy dog cuteness!
Some of my favorite things to do are: read (anything and everything!), go boating, long weekend visits to the mountains, watch football, go to the gym and do craft projects with my girls. I'm also a Pinterest addict and love Starbucks dates with my husband!
My Professional History ~ I attended Eastern Michigan University and received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Shortly thereafter I moved to Texas where I taught first grade. My next move was here to North Carolina where I taught kindergarten at Oak Grove Elementary for six amazing years. At that point I had just had my second daughter and became a stay at home mom then worked as a Pre-K teacher. In 2011 I graduated from Meredith College with a Master's of Education degree in Reading and was welcomed into Turner Creek Elementary's community. I've been teaching Turner Creek's kindergarten, track three tree frogs since 2011!
Kindergarten is my favorite place to be and I know it's going to be a FABULOUS year for our kindergarten crew!!!
