Hello, my name is Peggy McCamy. This is my 21st year teaching at Shelton Elementary. I will be celebrating my 10th year of marriage this school year, so those that have been at Shelton for a while may still remember me as "Miss Kibler". I taught 4th, 3rd, and 2nd grade. I am truly excited for the 2024-2025 school year to begin, and I look forward to working with each and every one of you.
=========================================
Below is an activity that I try to do with the kids during the first week of school. For the assignment, the student must think of a word that begins with each letter of the alphabet. The tricky part is that they also have to relate the word to themselves. Hope you enjoy reading my example. Once you're finished, see if you can create the ABC's of your own life. Good luck!
THE ABC'S OF MRS. MCCAMY
A- I like applesauce
B- My favorite color is blue
C- I eat a lot of chicken. Did you know you can eat it for every meal? ---chicken biscuits, chicken salad, chicken and rice, BBQ chicken----the possibilities are endless :-)
D- I decided I wanted to be a teacher when I was five years old. It was the first thing I told my parents I wanted to be, and I never changed my mind. Definitely always follow your dreams. With hard work anything is possible!
E- I love to explore new places. I love jumping in the car and driving to the mountains or the beach. I have even explored Kalamazoo, so the next stop will be Timbuktu :-)
F- My first job when I was in high school was working at Six Flags.
G-I have lived in Georgia my entire life. I grew up in Smyrna, Georgia.
H- My family in Ohio owns harness racing horses. When I was a kid, they named one of their horses after me.
I- I can play an instrument. The violin to be exact!
J- I like to jump rope. When I was in elementary school at Fitzhugh Lee, I was in the newspaper for participating in my school's Jump Rope for Heart program.
K-Every year, I can't wait to meet my new kids and add on to my Shelton family. Once you are MY KID, you will ALWAYS BE MY KID!

T- I had the honor of being the 2014 Shelton Elementary Teacher of the Year. I am definitely proud of this recognition. Honestly, I wouldn't be the teacher I am without the helpful Shelton staff, the supportive parents, and of course the kids who have taught me so much over the years.
