I am so excited to be a Reagan Ray and be apart of our awesome 4th grade team! This is my ninth year teaching, and my sixth year as a #ReaganRay! I earned a Master's degree from Texas State University in Early Childhood Education in 2009 and a Bachelor's degree in Business Management in 2005. I am a certified teacher in General Education, Special Education and English as a Second Language. My teaching philosophy comes from my belief that children learn best when they are actively engaged and have time to reflect on what they learn. Positive feedback and reinforcement are key essentials in your child's learning. I'm very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel and experience many beautiful places all over the world. My favorite travel memory, feeding a PET elephant in Thailand. I have worked with children, pre-k through 5th, in the private and public school setting. I truly believe that creating a fun and positive classroom is important in developing a love for school and lifelong learners. Thank you for visiting my website! I can't wait to learn with your kiddos and explore 4th grade together!
