Welcome to Kindergarten! I am Caron Riley, Kindergarten teacher at Pelham Oaks Elementary School. I am thrilled to be here! I graduated from the University of Alabama with a B.S. in Early Childhood Education, then received my Masters Degree from the University of Montevallo. This is my 32th teaching year. I have taught kindergarten, second, and third grade. I love to watch and help students learn. I am a life-long learner and try to pass my excitement for learning to my students. This is going to be a great year! The excitement for learning and beginning a new year never goes away! I am blessed to be surrounded by the BEST faculty and staff! I hope your child enjoys this year as much as I do. Yes, this year may be a little different. I can assure you that your child will have every opportunity to be safe and loved. Somethings will be the same. Your child will be surrounded by a caring staff. They will also have the opportunity to learn, grow, and meet many milestones. I want to thank you in advance for your support. We have an exciting year ahead!!
