Hello friends!! Welcome to 3rd Grade!

I'm Ms. Shaw!

This is my 1st year teaching at New Life Academy of Excellence! 

I grew up in Western Kansas with two younger brothers. I participated in sport activities through high school such as Volleyball and Cheer-leading. 

I attended the University of North Georgia and participated on the collegiate UNG Rifle Team I graduated from UNG with my Early Childhood/Special Education Bachelors Degree. I also have a Reading Endorsement and both an English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Certification and a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Certificate. 

I have lived in Georgia for five years, but after graduating college I adventured abroad and taught English in Nanchang, China. 

During my down time, I enjoy reading, completing puzzles and cuddling with my two adorable cats! Their names are Megara (the gray one) and Hercules (the orange one)! 

I am so excited to be your teacher and can't wait to get our year started! See you soon!!
