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!

Students practice creating poetry using AABB and ABAB rhyme schemes as we continue with our poetry unit. Some students even took the opportunity to share their poems with the class. 

We read this beautiful book Wishes by Mượn Thị Văn. The students were able to reflect on the character in this book and think about all the things that make her who she is today.
