Welcome to our first grade! You have found your way to our fabulous first grade blog where you will find a window into our classroom and learning information at your fingertips. Please begin exploring and visit often! 
Contact us at kim.pennington@cobbk12.org.
Send us an email if you would like to set up a classroom exchange! We check in each day to see if we can get visitors from all the continents (we don't expect one from Antarctica)!
We have an interactive white board now! Go, go, go, you 21st century learners!!
I have been teaching kindergarten, first and second grades for eleven years. I have a B.S. in Journalism from the University of Kansas and a M. Ed. in Early Childhood Education from Kennesaw State University. Honored as a Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year in 2005, I consider myself most honored to work with young people every day at Powers Ferry School. Our school is an America's Choice School where children are held to the best national and international standards.
I have been married for over 27 years to my husband, Mr. Pennington. He is in the elevator and escalator business. We have one child. 
This is our daughter, Anna, who is a junior at the University of Georgia. She is studying communication sciences and disorders. When we're not working, we love to read, cook, work on projects of all sorts, and travel whenever we can. We consider ourselves adventurous and are curious about so many things. 
Our family roots are out west in Colorado and Kansas. We moved to Marietta 20 years ago. One day we hope to get back to our beloved Rocky Mountains.
