My name is Karlie Wright and I am so excited to be working with your family this year. This will be my fourth year teaching. I graduated from UNCW with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with a concentration in Reading. I taught second grade for three years at Patriots Elementary, and this is my first year teaching Kindergarten at Hickory Ridge Elementary!

I became a teacher in order to share my enthusiasm for learning and to share my love of reading. I believe in using various teaching styles in order to reach the needs of all learners. Lastly, I believe in building positive and meaningful relationships with my students and their families! 

When I am not teaching I love to travel. So far I have been to 11 different countries. I love to read, spend time with my family, friends and dogs. 

I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this school year!
