Grade K - Mrs. Wood / Overview

Hello! Ms. Ramirez and I are so excited to work with you this year! Here is a little bit about us! We can't wait to meet you!

About Mrs. Wood (Teacher):

My name is Shannon Wood! This is my 9th year teaching in LCPS and my 3rd year at Liberty! I love being part of the Liberty Eagles family and now on the kindergarten team! I graduated from Radford University in 2010 with a BS degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (emphasis English and Dance) in 2010. I was in the 100^th graduating class at Radford University. I then received my teaching certificate in Elementary Education in 2011. During college I danced on the RU Dance Team (RU Rockers) and worked at RU’s LARC (Learning Resource Center). In 2011-2012, I was a long-term substitute in two first grade classes and taught dance classes at a local studio.

I have a two year old daughter named AnnaBelle and an eight year old dog named Gypsy! They keep me very busy running around the house and taking walks. In my spare time, I love to travel, dance, have bonfires, attend sporting events, craft and play games of any sort. I have had the amazing opportunity to travel to China, Greece, Turks and Caicos and Aruba.

I hope everyone has had a relaxing and fun summer playing outside, visiting family, reading books, and traveling! I can’t wait to hear everyone’s summer stories and interests. I look forward to my new Kindergarten class.

See you soon!!
