Kindergarten

I am a 25 year veteran of the kindergarten kaleidoscope of learning.  We work toward independence, mastery of a variety of reading and math skills and learn how to get along with our peers.  We are the cornerstone of learning for most students.

This is my 8th year teaching.  I was blessed with the opportunity to teach kindergarten at East Lincoln Elementary after graduating with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Martin Methodist College.  I am currently pursuing a Reading Specialist Ed.S degree from Arkansas State University, where I also received my master's degree in Educational Theory and Practice.  

In my classroom, I want all of my students to feel loved, safe, and successful. I love teaching kindergarten.  During the year students learn to read, write, add, and subtract.  It is indeed a magical year seeing students experience lots of growth.  

My name is Kaila Walls. I am a Kindergarten teacher at East Lincoln Elementary School. My husband, Tyler Walls, and I live in Tullahoma. We have two daughters, Ashlyn and Madison Walls, that also attend East Lincoln.

I graduated from Moore County High School in 2010 and attended Motlow State Community College. After taking a break from college, I enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University where I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in 2018.

My name is AnnaKristen Zontek. I am a kindergarten teacher at East Lincoln Elementary. This is my third year teaching kindergarten. I was raised in Tullahoma. I now live in Estill Springs with my fiance, Thomas. I graduated from Tullahoma High School in 2013. I then went on to earn my bachelors degree in elementary education at Middle Tennessee State University. My primary goal is to show my students that I believe in them and teach them to love learning. I hope that they feel that this classroom is a safe place to be themselves and have fun while learning.
