Hello!  My name is Carrie Poules and I teach 4th grade at Chapin Elementary.  I attended Oakland University and have a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in Elementary Education and Language Arts.  I am working towards my Master's degree in Reading and Language Arts.  I taught both 4th and 5th grades in Michigan before moving to South Carolina.  I have three children that attend D5 schools.  I love Disney World, being out on Lake Murray, spending time with my family and friends, decorating, painting and shopping! 

I know we are all so anxious about this new kind of school year!   I look forward to working with you and teaching your precious children.  I am so happy to be your child's teacher and I am looking forward to this year.  We are going to make it a great one together!
