My name is Mrs. McCrary and I am very excited and honored to be your 6th grade ELA/SS teacher this year! This will be my 9th year teaching as well as my 9th year at Beech. Teaching and learning are two of my passions! I believe that learning should be exciting and fun; enthusiasm is key for a successful year. If the students are enjoying themselves and having fun while learning, it will stick with them! Building a relationship with each one of my students is very important to me, as well as a family environment! I love connecting with my kids, learning more about them as a person and their life, and watching them become molded into something great! I want all of us to work together to help 'our child' achieve success in everything they do! #weareONE
I graduated from North Greenville University with a BA Degree in Elementary Education. I have experience teaching Kindergarten and 3rd-6th grade throughout my years of school and being a sub, and I am also Gifted and Talented endorsed.
I enjoy reading a good book, traveling, spending time with family and friends, fishing, GAMECOCK football (any kind of sport really), music, kayaking, hiking, going to the gym, and crafts. I am a coffee addict and love chick-fil-a, fall weather, sweaters and jeans, the beach, bowling, and going on adventures. I'm energetic and bubbly and love to surround myself around POSITIVE people! I used to coach softball at Byrnes High School and this year will be the assistant coach for volleyball at Florence Chapel.
I am the oldest of five. I have two sisters and two brothers: Sarah (16), Summer (21), Logan (19) and Daniel (22). I can't forget about my husband Michael, our sweet little girl, Riley, and our feisty pup Sophie! These three mean the world to me, make me a better person each day, and teach me so much! I LOVE them to death!!!
I am so excited to see what this year holds for all of us! Let's put our best effort forward and work hard to achieve greatness! #wegotthis Let's make this year a great one!
