Welcome to Mrs. K. Gilchrist's 2nd Grade Class Website!
Here is a little about myself. I graduated in May 2000 from Missouri Baptist University with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. In November of 2008, I earned my National Board Certification in the area of middle childhood/generalist. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Educational Leadership through the University of Arkansas. This will be my tenth year teaching. I have taught Sixth grade, Third grade, and Fourth grade. I am married with a son. I love animals. I have three dogs, two ferrets, one rabbit, one cat, and a red-eared slider turtle.
I feel that teaching through technology is a MUST in today's world. Our room contains a Promethean Board, a LCD projector, an ACTIVslate, ACTIVpens, ACTIVwands, and ACTIVoters. I ask that all students treat my equipment as if it were their own! Lastly, I always strive to achieve a healthy home-school relationship since it's vital to your child's success. Currently, I am a district trainer for Promethean (TM) and I was chosen as their "Featured Teacher" in November of 2007. For the past three years I have presented at the Midwest Educational Technology Conference on Promethean Activboards and have taught numerous workshops on their newest software, ActivInspire!
