About Me
I'm Deb Martin and I'd like to tell you a little bit about me. For the last 22 years it has been my pleasure to teach in the Olympia district at McLean then here at South. After teaching Kindergarten for a maternity leave, I was hired to teach the 3rd grade. For several years I moved around teaching in 2nd,3rd, and 4th grade. I LOVE the 4th grade and can't wait to have the opportunity to learn with your children. I will be the math teacher for all 4th grade students this year and Mrs. Garcia will be the reading teacher. We will each be teaching our homeroom class in all other subjects.
My Family
I live in the country outside of Waynesville with my husband, Dee Jay. We have 3 children who are now grown up, Andrew and Laura live in St. Louis and Sarah is in Indianapolis. We have 3 inside dogs, 1 outside dog, 3 cats, and 2 guinea pigs (yes, they know me at Petco). I keep myself busy mowing, gardening, and in my pool during the summer months. Reading is a passion. I enjoy spending weekends with family and yes, I am a Chicago sports fan.
I want to share my outlook...try new things. Don't let your fears keep you from trying. Last summer I took the leap and went zip lining. For someone who doesn't care for heights, this was intimidating. So glad that I stepped out there as it was awesome!
