All About Miss Matthews
I am so excited to be entering my 18th year of teaching! This will be my 14th year teaching at BMES. Before teaching first grade here, I taught kindergarten. Prior to BMES I taught Kindergarten at Westover Elementary School. I started my teaching career at the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center as a Pre-kindergarten teacher.
I studied Elementary Education at Elon University in North Carolina.
I received my masters in Elementary Education with a focus in Gifted Instruction from Towson University.
I am also certified in special education. :)

My Core Teaching Beliefs:
1. All children can learn.
2. Children must feel comfortable and safe to learn.
3. Learning should be fun.
4. Children should be allowed choices.
5. Learning must be relevant, appropriate and engaging.
6. Children learn differently.

When I am not teaching I like to spend time with my dog, Bentley. I also enjoy visiting my family in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. I love to travel and have only 1 more state left to visit in the USA. Can you guess which one? My favorite place is the beach! I love to go to Charleston to visit the beach, friends and restaurants.
