Student+Teaching+Experience

During the 2012-2013 school year, I had the pleasure of being placed in second grade at Brickey-McCloud Elementary School in the Knox County School District. I had a wonderful experience and learned a vast amount from my mentor teacher and the other grade level teachers at Brickey McCloud. On this page you will find a brief overview of Brickey-McCloud Elementary School, several lesson plans, activities and pictures of events that took place during my time at Brickey-McCloud.

Welcome to Brickey-McCloud! Although our school is among the largest of Knox County's elementary schools, we maintain a small community atmosphere. Our parents, students, staff, and entire community play a part in developing our most important resource: our children. Our vision is that every student will become a productive citizen today, tomorrow, and always. The mission of the Brickey-McCloud Elementary School Community is to provide a safe and caring environment where children are challenged to be lifelong learners who are responsible citizens. Brickey-McCloud School Motto: "Today, tomorrow, and always, let the learning begin!"
