My name is Christina Pierce and I will be your child's kindergarten teacher this year at OCPS.  I completed my undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis on Early Child Development in 2011 and began working at CFES in 2012. After being a paraprofessional for a year, I interviewed for a job at Rocky Branch Elementary School. I was hired as a third grade teacher in 2013. In 2014, I decided to seek further professional development. I completed my gifted endorsement in Summer 2015 to better meet the needs of all students in my classroom.

Math became a focus of professional development at Rocky Branch, so I participated in classes to further math instruction. I participated in classes teaching cognitively guided math instruction.   I have experience teaching kindergarten, first grade and third grade.  Prior to my first year of teaching, I subbed in the Oconee County School District for three years while completing my degree at the University of Georgia. I was a long-term sub in a 3rd grade classroom for the last half of the school year in 2012.  I have taught second grade and I am very excited about the opportunity to teach kindergarten this year at OCPS.

Family:  Husband-Todd ; Children- Alexander and Calleigh

Hobbies:  reading, baking, t-shirt designing, cleaning, shopping, and spending time with family and friends

I am looking forward to working with your child and watching him/her grow throughout this year in kindergarten.  I feel very blessed and honored to have the opportunity to teach your child.  Welcome to my class!
