Welcome everyone!

I am Miss Morrison and I will be your teacher in 4th grade! We will be having a great time this year and I cannot wait to meet all of you at Meet the Teacher on August 12th from 1:00- 6:00 pm in room 405!

I am extremely excited to begin my teaching career at Oakland Elementary because it is a fantastic school! I am even more excited to be teaching the fourth grade, because there are so many interesting and fun things we will be learning this year!

A little about Miss Morrison

I am originally from Pennsylvania, but moved to South Carolina to attend Furman University where I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education! I absolutely love the Boiling Springs area and have already fallen in love with the welcoming community!

A few fun facts about Miss Morrison:

I love hiking, cooking and being outdoors with friends and family!
Dogs are my favorite animal. I had three growing up and there is always something fun to play with them.
I played tennis since I was five and love to play when I can.
I have been to every continent except Antartica, but I plan on visiting there someday!
I love doing exciting things and have sky dived, bungee jumped in New Zealand, explored ancient ruins in Vietnam, rode elephants in Thailand, and have been on an African safari.
The scariest thing that has ever happened to me is that I got stuck in sinking sand...but luckily I got out!

This year we are going to have a wonderful year as we get to know each other and explore a bunch of fun subjects ! I am extremely blessed to be able to teach at Oakland Elementary and I know that our fourth grade crew is going to find many treasures this year. Throughout the year I will be updating the blog with pictures and information to show the fun activities we have been doing.
