Hello! My name is Morgan Grooms! I am a Sixth Grade teacher and (hopefully) your student's teacher this academic year! I am thrilled to have your student join our community and I cannot wait to get to know them!
A little background info on me: I am an only child of two very loving parents growing up in Asheville, North Carolina. I love the mountain life and am thankful for the unique experience of growing up in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. I am a proud dog mom to a sweet rescue named Mickey.
I knew from the moment I met my third grade teacher that I wanted to also be a teacher when I grew up ! Luckily that dream still holds true today.
I am also what you would call a "tech-geek". I even had the opportunity to work at my university's IT department while getting my degree in education. I'm a big believer in incorporating technology in my lessons, as it is a key skill future generations will be accustomed to! So expect for your student to learn how to use all types of technology in my class.
