I am Mrs. Paddock. I grew up on a farm that was split between North Carolina and South Carolina. My mother encouraged me to read at an early age and I developed a passion for books. She enjoyed reading aloud to me when I was little girl and I learned to read with expression. I have always wanted to be a teacherl. I graduated from Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I have always been at Irmo Elementary and it feels like one big family. My students keep me on my toes constantly challenging me as a teacher. They share ideas and stories. I have a classroom of learners that all think differently, but we come together as one unique group of individuals. I have a love for teaching and try to share my gift everyday with the young ladies and gentlemen that enter my room.
