A little bit about ME!!!!


I grew up all over the place...ranging from Clovis, New Mexico, to Connecticut and landing inTexas.   I have been married to Daniel Holt for 7 years and we have two beautiful children Josie & Shaw.  We recently moved back "home" this past year where Daniel and I both began teaching in Farwell. 

I attended Sam Houston State University where I received my Bachelors in Music Therapy. I took a break from school while I served as a missionary overseas and returned serving as a Worship Leader in our church. In 2011 I decided to go back to school to get my teaching degree and receive my Master's Degree in Special Education. 

I taught Special Education and First Grade in Clovis for several years, and this is my 1st year teaching in Farwell. This move to Farwell has proven to be a HUGE blessing to myself and my family. To get to work in a school district where I can see/teach my kids daily and work with one of the most supportive staffs is something I don't take for granted.

I am super excited to teach music and art this year!!!

 

   A few of my favorite things:

   Color: Teal

   Drink: Diet Coke & Iced Caramel Coffee

   College Football Team: Arkansas Razorbacks .... WOOOOOOOOOO PIG SOOIE [I married into that one!!]

BE A PINEAPPLE ... Stand Tall, Wear a Crown, and Be Sweet on the Inside

As we transition from the classroom to distance learning, here are some guidelines that you may find helpful.  You can still have a very successful student with only two hours a day of academic instruction! I know many parents are juggling a full-time job, house obligations, and homeschool right now. Having a set schedule is going to be your best friend. A schedule is very important for you and your child! Pick a time that “school” will happen and stick to it. If you decide to be flexible with those hours, then your child will be more likely to take it less seriously, think it might not happen, or try to avoid it. If your child knows that M-F from 8-10 we do school work, no matter what; then he/she will start to expect it and things will go much smoother. Your child is smart and clever, do not let them call your bluff!
