Welcome to my website! My name is Ellen Adkins and I teach 7th Grade at Emerald Coast Middle School! I grew up in Americus, GA where I graduated from Georgia Southwestern University with a BS in Chemistry. I later went back to school to become certified to teach, which is what I was born to do! I have been teaching for 16 years in high school, 8th grade, and recently at ECMS, 2 years in 5th grade. I am super excited to be teaching 7th grade this year! I have been married for 29 years to my husband, Don, and we have 6 wonderful children, and an awesome 4 legged child, Teddy. Oh....and I can't forget our infamous class pet, Ms. Frizzle, who is a Bearded Dragon!
I am a very enthusiastic person who loves more than anything to see kids learn! One of my all time favorite singers is Luke Bryan! I taught him when he was in high school and was good friends with his sister when I was in college. We still remain good friends to this day. I am passionate about teaching and will do what it takes for the light bulbs to start lighting up in my students. It is my goal for this year to make your children fall in love with Science through lots of hands-on activities, classroom discussions, interactive learning and projects!
