My name is Erin Smith.  I am so thrilled to be your child's 1st grade teacher this year!  It is going to be a fun year full of new learning and adventures!  I grew up in Irmo, SC in the Lex/Rich 5 school district.  I received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and my Master's degree in Language and Literacy (both from USC- GO GAMECOCKS!!!).  After graduation, I taught 4K at H.E. Corley Elementary for five years.  Now, I am here at Chapin!  I am looking forward to beginning our exciting journey through first grade together!
