Why Do I Teach?
“Teachers who love teaching, teach children to love learning.”
~Robert John Meehan
I became a teacher because I love learning and working with children!
I want my students to enjoy learning as much as I do because honestly, life never stops teaching! As an educator, it is my goal to help your child develop a both a Growth Mindset and a Love for Learning!
Hello! I am Mrs. Redding and I am happy to begin my 17th year as a teacher! This will be my first year serving as the AIG teacher-and I am so excited!

A Little About Me:
When I am not teaching, my favorite thing is to spend time making special memories with my family! We love to cook, go on family bike rides, spend time at the beach & the lake...and just be together!!
Other fun facts...I really think Joanna Gaines and I could be best friends, I love the color pink and enjoy all things monogrammed!!
I am truly excited to be your child's AIG teacher, and to work with you to make this a successful school year!
