A Little About Me...

My name is Tia Smith. I am a kindergarten teacher at New Haven School in Nelson County, KY. This is my fifth year teaching and all five years have been in kindergarten! I enjoy kindergarteners because, well, they love you. They think your drawings are great and your stories are funny.:) It is such a rewarding grade to teach because you are there as the door to reading opens for them and they are amazed.

We have a reading series that we use in the classroom, but I am always looking for special books to sneak in there. I love going to the library and looking around for the newest children books or ordering them from Scholastic. When I am reading for myself, I enjoy reading a variety of books. I recently married, so a lot of books I have read lately are books recommended by our pastor about having a successful marriage. I have also been on an Abraham Lincoln kick, reading different historical perspectives on his life and times. In addition, I am drawn to reading books that are being made into movies. I often find I like the book better than the movie!


In addition to teaching and reading, I enjoy spending time with my son and new husband. We like to ride four-wheelers, go to movies, visit family and friends, play with our dog Roxy and our cat Sophie, and sometimes just relax!
