A little about me....

       Hi, my name is Katie Lopez and this will be my sixth year to be a instructional aide, fourth year in reading intervention.  I was born and raised in Franklin, graduated and married my High School sweetheart, Joe.  We have been married for 17 years and have 3 wonderful, active boys, Quade, Joshua and Jace. We have recently added to our crew, his name is Dexter and he is a Squirrel Monkey. Dexter has become a huge part of our family and travel everywhere we go, as well as to school. He has come accustom to a lot of people and loves attention.

 

       I started subbing when my boys were little and became a full-time sub pretty quickly.  I learned fast that I have a passion for working with children and wanted to go further in this career then just subbing.  A opportunity came up for a fill-time position as a instructional aide in the middle of the school year so I jumped on it.  It was the best decision I made.  Two years ago I decided to go back to college to get my teaching degree so that one day I can have a classroom full of sweet kiddos for myself. I enjoy getting to be in the classroom and work with many different kids across the board.  I have had the privilege to move from grade to grade and experience many different grade levels in doing so.  I work with the best teachers and have made lifelong friends in the process.
