Who is Mrs. Wallace I am a military spouse, who is just returning from an assignment in Korea. I come to you from a DoDEA school on Osan, AB. I am originally from Georgia, I graduated from Mercer University. I have multiple teaching certifications including: Gifted, Social Studies, English, Humanities, ESOL, and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum. I finish my Master’s degree in December in Curriculum and Instruction! I will commit myself fully to helping your child master the content in my classes.

My Teaching Philosophy in 5 sentences All children can learn! Every child has a gift – something that makes them unique and awesome! Children should be allowed to think critically and be actively engaged in the learning process while at school. Parents are an essential part of the educational team. (I have an open door policy) Classes should be engaging, interesting, and relevant.
