Hi!! My name is Trisha Pumphrey. I have been teaching for 13 years. I have taught 1st and 2nd grades, however my heart is in Kindergarten. This is my10th year teaching Kindergarten at KMS. |
I love to see the progress the students have made since the beginning of the year. I also love to see the excitement on their faces when they grasp a new skill. There is absolutely nothing more rewarding than to have a student hug you and say they love you. There are no words that can describe that feeling. I truly enjoy my job and believe there is no other place I would rather be than teaching young children their first year of school. |
When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband, Tony and I have an 8 year-old son named Logan who is in Mrs.Richter's second grade class this year. We also have another son, Landon who was born in December. I enjoy shopping, wakeboarding, and decorating my home. We attend First Assembly of God Church in Cottondale, FL where we serve as Preschool Sunday School teachers and Kids' Church leaders. Tony and I were named 2007 West Florida District Teachers of the Year by the Assemblies of God organization and were one of the top 6 finalists in the national competition. I was also named 2009 Kate M. Smith Elementary School's Teacher of the Year. |
I received my Reading Endorsement in May 2007 and my ESOL certification in September 2008. In the near future, I plan to begin my masters' degree in early childhood education. |
