Hello and Welcome!

My name is Mrs. Woods and I teach 5th grade at Burch PK8. Born and raised in Mingo County, it is only natural for me to feel invested in our community. This is my home and I have fully enjoyed teaching at my alma mater, the former Burch High School: c/o 2002. I received my teaching degree at Marshall University in 2012, with a focus on literacy acquisition for elementary grades. This is my 11th year teaching at Burch PK8 in fifth grade. I love to travel, read, craft, and spend time with my family. I married my high school sweetheart, and we have two wonderful children who are the absolute light of our lives. Teaching is my calling in life, and I am a firm believer in making meaningful connections with students. In my opinion, this is the key to unlocking a child's potential to succeed. My ultimate goal is to equip your child to reach or exceed their potential as a learner and to encourage them to develop a love for reading that will last a lifetime!  

Please feel free to send an email or contact the school if you would like to schedule a meeting with me.

All in Bulldogs!
