Hi! I'm Shannon Garrison and this is my 12th year teaching at Northwoods Elementary. I love our school and the community that supports us. We are a special smaller school with a lot of hard working teachers and students! We are excited you are here with us!
I am originally from Charlotte, NC and I have one older sister. I also have an adorable dog named Bella! She is a peek-a-poo breed and 9 pounds of fur! I enjoy shopping, reading, walking, spending time with friends and family, sports, being near any kind of water- lake, beach, pool; & teaching of course! I've traveled to Haiti twice on mission trips.
I have my Bachelor's Degree from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC and my Master's Degree from North Carolina State University here in Raleigh. I have a passion for reading and writing. We will have so much fun this year learning new things. I will be updating my blog weekly. I am looking forward to a wonderful year of partnering with you and your family to create a successful school year!
Some of my favorites:
Color: Blue
Restaurants: Panera, Chick-fil-la, Starbucks
Stores: Target, Hobby Lobby, Old Navy
Sports: Baseball & basketball
Kid movies: The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast
Kid authors: Eric Carle, Jan Brett, Kevin Henkes
Here is an article that I wrote in Spring 2014 during one of my graduate courses that was printed in the News and Observer:
