A Little About Me...

I am Rachel Anderson and I teach at Kirksville Elementary in Madison County.   I attended Eastern Kentucky University and have lived in Richmond since 2009.  I am originally from Winchester, KY and that is definitely where my heart is.  I have been married for two years.  My husband owns a flooring company and we are the perfect example of "opposites attract".  I don't have any children, but my miniature dachshund is treated like a child!  I love UK Athletics, being outdoors, being creative, and running.  

This is my third year of teaching. I teach 3rd grade reading and writing.  The best part about reading is watching my kids faces light up when they read a book, and they coming running to tell me the exciting part they have figured out.  I like being able to share with them that reading isn't a boring activity.  The hardest part about teaching reading and what I dislike is when students struggle with reading and I can't find a way to get them to love it. 


I hope that from this class I will learn new ways to incorporate picture books and children's literature into my classroom!
