Mrs. Gentry's Giraffes

I am so thrilled to start another year of second grade. I love encouraging children to grow in their learning

and reach their goals. Teaching is a passion of mine that continues to thrive within me each year. I get

excited about all the things that second graders get to learn and the amazing novels that we get to delve

into together.I am from Friendswood, TX. It's a suburb of Houston that reminds me of Round Rock. I

ventured off to Austin to attend the University of Texas at Austin. There I received my BS in Applied

Learning and Development with a Minor in Psychology/Child Psychology. Throughout and after college

I volunteered with various organizations including Rosedale and Children's Hospital of Austin. After

college I nannied, tutored, subbed, and worked at Sylvan Learning Center until I started teaching

Pre-K at Forest Creek Elementary. Then I spent four years teaching third grade and switched to

second grade. This is my fifteenth year of teaching and my tenth year of teaching second grade.

utside of school, I stay very active. If it's outside, I'm there! I enjoy running, reading, and spending

time with my family and friends. I love UT Football and "How 'Bout Them Cowboys!" My husband

Johnathan and I will celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary this year. Our daughter Adalind is three,

and we are having a blast watching her learn and grow every day. I have an eleven year old stepson,

Brayden, who constantly lights up our lives. In addition, I get to spend every day helping my second

graders to be prepared for third grade and have a lot of fun in the process!Thank you for sharing

your kiddos with me this year! I hope to inspire all my students to become lifelong learners!
