Hello,
Welcome! I'm Mrs. Floyd and I'm entering my 10th year of teaching, most of which has been done at Benton Elementary in 2nd grade. My favorite part of teaching is getting to know my students and creating a strong school family within our classroom. Second to that, my passions of teaching are teaching students important emotional regulation skills and primary reading instruction. Both are skills that you will use your whole life! I also really love science. I love learning about the way that our world works and that scientists discover something new about our world every single day! Honestly, I've just loved every part of school since I was a kid and I hope to instill that in my students, too.
When I'm not at school, I am kept busy with my family that includes my husband, my two boys, and our dog, Elway. We love playing and watching sports, riding bikes, and playing board games.
Here are a few of my favorite things:
Children's Book: Roxaboxen
Children's Chapter Book: Because of Winn Dixie
Movie: The Sound of Music, Trolls
Music: All types! But I love Garth Brooks, James Taylor, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson
Drink: Iced Coffee with SugarFree Creamer or Coke Zero
Snack: Peanuts or Almonds
Color: Purple
Food: PIZZA (fun fact, I worked at a pizza restaurant for 10 years and I'm still not tired of eating it!)
Teams: St. Louis Cardinals, Mizzou Tigers, Denver Broncos
Athlete: Ozzie Smith, Adam Wainwright (STL Cardinals) and Phil Mickelson (Pro Golfer)
