Welcome to our class!
I am thrilled to be your teacher and know it is going to be a terrific year full of fun and learning. I have been teaching second grade for 10 years. This is my third year as an all-virtual teacher and I am so excited to be a part of what we are building as a FIVE community.
Parents, please let me know if you ever have any questions or concerns. The best way to communicate with me is through email at kmcmillo@lexrich5.org. Please look for notices and important dates to remember in our class newsletter and check the FIVE newsletter for additional information.
I grew up in Aiken, South Carolina. I graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Packaging Science. I worked with two large corporations as a Packaging Engineer. After my daughter Kennedy was born, I decided to travel the professional baseball circuit with my husband, Billy. No matter where we lived in the country though, we always made our way back to South Carolina. I got my Masters in Elementary Education in 2012. We travel less but still spend some part of every summer with the minor league ball team my husband coaches.
I have two children, a senior in college and a senior in high school. I also have a boxer named Charlie. In my free time I like playing tennis and taking Charlie for long walks. I also like to ride my bike and watch movies. I love to play video games, especially Mario Kart. The new DLC is awesome with the new courses. Reading a great book is always going to be my favorite hobby. My favorites are The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien, the Harry Potter series (yes, the whole thing), and Persuasion by Jane Austen.
I am very excited about beginning a new year with you and your family. We have a lot to learn in second grade. We work hard and have fun. We try, fail, and try again and become stronger for it. It's going to be an exciting journey!
Love,
Mrs. McMillon
