About Sarah

Hello,
I'm Sarah Tharpe Winchell I teach first grade in North Carolina. I have 27 years of teaching experience. Teaching young children is my passion. I love, love, teaching. I have taught both kindergarten and first grade. I also enjoy working with other teachers and especially student teachers. I am a supervising teacher for the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I am a National Board Certified Teacher and I have a master's degree in Child Development and Family Relations as well as Education.

My husband is a teacher at the same school! He teaches third grade. We have taught many of the same children so they get a double dose of Winchell. We enjoy it a lot. We have two daughters one is a college freshman and another is in photography school. They are both delightful people.

I also read, read, read! I love reading. I have a new passion for blogging. I have met so many wonderful people that I would have never met without blogging. Join the blogging community. I welcome you to a new adventure!
I want to use this blog as a sharing forum for teachers, student teachers, parents and homeschooling families. There is so much we can learn together.

Enjoy!
Sarah
