Welcome to 2nd grade! I am Christi Middleton, and this is my first year at Linwood Elementary. Before coming to Linwood, I spent 3 years as a literacy interventionist at Camden Elementary. I graduated from William Carey University in May of 2023 with a degree in Elementary Education, so this is my first year teaching. My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating enviornment where they can grow physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks. I am so excited to spend this year teaching 2nd grade.
