“Where Students Read, Write, Speak and Think Every Day!
Shekita McKenney
5th Grade Teacher

Hello families! This year marks my 8th year with Hamilton and 15th year of teaching. As a wife and a mother of two, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, exploring diverse cuisines, and watching action and horror movies. As a passionate lifelong learner, I am driven by critical thinking and creativity, and use an analytical approach to create engaging learning experiences that foster students’ growth.
This year, I will be teaching 4th and 5th Grade Science. Students will have many opportunities to explore curiosities, collaborate, and learn new ways of thinking.
I look forward to a great year and am ready to embrace all challenges.
