Welcome to second grade!  My name is Amanda Parker and this is my thirteenth year teaching! I earned my B.A. in Early Childhood and Elementary Education at Charleston Southern University. I then furthered my education at Penn State University where I earned my Masters in Children's Literature (curriculum and instruction).  I was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina.  I am a big Clemson Tiger fan and I love spending time with my family. Coming from a family of educators, I always wanted to be a teacher.  I'm so happy that I am able to live out my childhood dream!  I have been married to my incredible husband Trace for eleven years. We have three amazing little boys, Bo, Jack and Tripp.
