Welcome to Second Grade!!
Hello, My name is Keri Dotson. This is my inaugural year at Sycamore Springs Elementary (SSE). I am incredibly excited and honored to be teaching the young learners at SSE! My goals is to challenge and inspire each student to reach their personal best. It is important to me to develop a classroom environment where sharing, support, and responsibility for learning are attributes gained by each student. I believe that students learn best in a friendly, safe, challenging environment where they are accepted for who and where they are in their personal learning. I have a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a specialization in Early Childhood from Southwest Texas (Texas State). I have been an Educator for just over twelve years now. Initially teaching Kindergarten in Austin ISD for three years, before returning to the classroom after starting our family to teach Pre-k, Preschool, and as a substitute teacher. I am a mother of three; Peyton (10th grade-DSH), Presley (8th grade-SSMS), and Brody (5th grade-SSES). My husband Bryan and I have been married for eighteen years. I enjoy traveling, outdoor activities, working out, and living a healthy lifestyle. I believe that it is important to maintain high expectations and discover the strengths and abilities of each student. It is an honor for me to be a teacher to the young learners at Sycamore Springs Elementary and I look forward to a great year!! |
