**__ Mrs. Pickett, in a Nut Shell __** ** Education: ** I received my teaching degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia. I graduated Magna Cum Laude in May of 2005. I received my Master’s Degree through Webster University in 2007.



** Philosophy of Teaching: ** I believe that all learning should be fun and engaging. I believe that all students have the ability to learn and each child has a gift to offer. We all learn at different rates and in different ways. I respect and take pride in these differences in my classroom. I believe that parents and teachers should develop a partnership with one another in order to best help educate their child. The time you spend with your child on school related activities and the interest you show in his/her work sends a message about the importance of education. Please take time to express to your child how important it is to become a successful life-long learner.

** Background Information: ** I grew up in a suburb of Chicago called Wheaton. My family still lives there and I frequently head back to the Windy City to visit. After graduating college I received a job with Park Hill and moved to Kansas City. Last October I married my husband, Michael after a long courtship of eight years. We have a wonderful Shepherd-Lab-Rottweiler mix dog, named Truman. Truman was named after the Mizzou mascot, and I am a huge college sports fan. I spend football and basketball season rooting on the Tigers. Along with sports I have a passion for both flower and vegetable gardening. I love heirloom vegetables and this summer grew tomatoes, green beans, bell peppers, potatoes, carrots and watermelons. My husband and I also love to cook together and just relax at home.
