4th Grade - Philmon, Michaela

This will be my eleventh year teaching, and my eighth year teaching here at Woodland Elementary. I consider myself lucky to be a part of the Wolfpack family! I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Georgia State University in 2012. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education with an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) endorsement. I also have my Gifted endorsement. My son will be a 7th grader at Woodland Middle and my daughter will be in 2nd grade here at Woodland Elementary. I enjoy traveling, GA sports, watching my children play soccer, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I'm very excited to have the opportunity to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with your child. I look forward to getting to know your child, meeting his/her unique needs, and challenging him/her to learn and excel. I see all of my students as individuals and I believe that every child can and will succeed if he or she is given many opportunities to do so. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to facilitate a positive learning environment, full of encouragement and support, in which all students can thrive and learn. I hope to make this academic year an educational as well as a fun-filled year for your child.
