Welcome to Mrs. Bynum's Webpage!

"Do Your VERY BEST, and That's All I Expect!"

-- Mrs. Bynum

I am very excited about this year, and it seems as

if we are off to a great start!!!

My name is Lindsee Bynum and I am teaching reading and social studies.

I graduated from Jacksonville State University in

December of 2004 and even though I'm

from Albertville, I'm extremely happy to be working in this wonderful school system. 

I am a family person and think the world of my two babies, Jackson and Lilee-Ann who are 19 months and 4 months old; and of course I love my husband, Westley as well!   This will be my fourth year here at Cherokee and I have enjoyed every second of each year!  My first year I taught writing, and for the past two years, I have taught reading and social studies.  Of course this year, I'll be teaching reading and social studies again, and I can't wait!

I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to teach each and every one of my students this year.

Just remember, be respectful to yourself, others, AND THE TEACHER, and we will get

along just fine!!!   

THANK YOU,

Students and Parents for all of Your Dedication and Hard Work!!!     

 

THANK YOU EVERYONE for such a Great start to the school year!!! 

Also, THANK YOU for all the supplies and donations!

Week of May 11th-15th-  Reading- (1st/3rd blocks)-  We have a lot going on this week at school, and I realize that parents have a lot going on at home as well, with baseball, softball, and such.  So this week, we will not have reading homework.  Many students are working extremely hard to try and reach their end-of-the-year AR goal of 100 points or 175 points, so we are going to dedicate the homework time at home to working toward our AR GOALS; so read and work HARD!!!    Social Studies- Last Thursday, we tested on the states and capitals of the southeast region of the United States. I was very pleased with the test scores. This week, on Friday, we will test on the New England states and capitals. This test is a little tougher so study hard. We have so many interruptions this week; that is why I'm putting off the test until Friday, May 15th. We will continue to learn of the aftermath of the Revolution and the United States Constitution. We are going to finish out this year with extra work in social studies and continue to focus on reading our AR books as well.      Keep working hard guys and girls!          REMEMBER-  It is each child's responsibility to keep the newspaper in his/her social studies section of their binder and use it to study by or do class work with.  I only have one copy for each child, so please encourage your child to take care of their copy.
