Miss Cole's Bio

Miss Cole is a highly-qualified teacher with over 20 years of experience in primary and intermediate education. She grew up on a farm in the very small town called Markleville, Indiana and graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and has a gifted education endorsement. Miss Cole is dedicated to public school education and has been a teacher at Decatur Classical for over 15 years and was a 2021 Golden Apple Teacher.

Miss Cole loves to laugh and wants to make learning fun for all students! She is so excited to be the school interventionist to work along side teachers and help with MTSS and targeted student supports. Miss Cole also works as a Restorative Practitioner at Decatur and helps with restorative practices and talking circles in all classrooms.

When she is not teaching, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, cheering on her favorite NFL team the Indianapolis Colts, watching documentaries, and reading!

Third graders were working hard this week in small groups and on their own. It's hard to believe that February is almost over!

During 7th grade SEL, the students talked about perspective taking which is important part of self-awareness. They did a great job sharing their perspective and listening to the perspective of others.

This week, students started nonfiction texts and looked closely at the graphic and illustrations to understand the text deeply.

Check out the students dancing to "We Can Work It Out" for the first time on stage. They did an AMAZING job in the Winter Show this week!

Students love going to Essentials classes with our amazing teachers. I was able to get into art this week and see their awesome art work!
