Welcome to the 2015-2016 School Year! My name is Annette Hyder! I am celebrating turning 50 this year! (Not sure if you should know that... ) I am also married to my High School sweetheart of 25 years this September! LOTS OF MILESTONES! The good news...It's all good! I have 2 daughters, Emily and Katie. One is a Clemson Graduate living and working in Charlotte and the other is a Sophomore at Clemson this Fall. I currently hold a Masters Degree in Education and I am certified in both Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I am former recipient of Oakland's Teacher of the Year and News Channel 7's Golden Apple Award. I have worked on several committees throughout my career, the most recent being our District Math Curriculum Committee! I work hard and I love teaching. I am very thankful to have a job I love to go to. I have worked in Summer Learning Academy for the past 3 years to help students who need a little more attention and assistance.
I believe that the best approach for successful learning in the younger years is one where students interact. I use a "Literacy/Math Centers Based Approach" to enhance learning. Including Lunch, Recess, Snack, Special Area and Centers, students are out of their seats for 1/2 of the day. Although students will be seated facing the front of the room, they are only seated during Morning Work or Silent Reading. Students also participate in a monthly project where we help those in our world around us entitled the "Providing Palm Tree". We want to move students from a "me" base to an "others" based lifestyle where we are considerate of those around us. These things promote life skills and create a fun learning environment as well. YES! Learning can be fun!
I look forward to a great year ahead! Please make a note to join me for "Meet the Teacher" on Wednesday, August 12th!
If at all possible, please bring supplies and especially 1 inch binder with a clear front pocket on this day!
