1. About Mr. Bradley…. Greetings & Welcome ! I am very excited about plans for our classroom this year. I know you are a little anxious about 5 th grade, but be assured I will help make your transition as smooth as possible. Here’s a little about me, I spent the first 25 years of my adult life serving my country as a United States Marine. I’ve been teaching elementary school for the past six years. I’m married and have two daughters and a son, Tiffany, Tahpenes, and Timothy.

2. About Mrs. Bennett….. Hello and welcome! I am originally from Amarillo, Texas. I moved to Clarksville, Tennessee when I was 18 years old. I graduated from Austin Peay State University in Clarksville with a Bachelor of Science in Special Education Degree. I have an amazing husband and equally amazing son. I truly look forward to working with you and giving you every opportunity to learn and grow both academically and socially. Be ready for a GREAT year! See you on Monday.

3. What to Expect Each day we’ll be working towards creating a classroom where your active participation is important and encouraged. There will be many opportunities for you to participate in cooperative learning groups, team building skills, and personal growth through reflection. Through these activities you will help create a learning atmosphere that accepts and encourages new ideas and creative thinking. Remember, “Education is not filling a pail but the lighting of a fire.” Come Monday ready for your fire to be lit.
