All about Me!
Hi! I will be teaching First Grade for the 2009-2010 school year. I have been teaching kindergarten and/or first grade at AWE for 7 years. First grade is not new to me! Before coming to AWE, I was a first grade teacher for 6 years.
My name is Mrs. Brenna Hamric. The picture above is a picture of me and Mrs. Tripp, Mrs. Foley, and Mrs. Blair (I am the "big mouse in the middle). I am married and have five dogs. I am a long time resident of Havelock. I was born at Cherry Point Naval Hospital on July 29, 1971.
School Experience:
I was very fortunate to spend all of my school years in Havelock. I attended Kindergarten-5th grade at AWE in 1976-82! It was called West Havelock Elementary at that time. I was a student in room 5 for kindergarten and I now teach First Grade in room 6. I even have some of the blocks (for my blocks center) that came from room 5 when I was a student in kindergarten! NEAT HUH!
I graduated from Havelock High School in 1989.
I graduated from East Carolina University with a BS in Elementary Education in 1995.
I am a National Board Certified teacher. My certificate is in Early Childhood. (What is National Board Certification? click on the link below.) I will be going through the re-certification process this school year!
I have a Master's Degree in School Administration from East Carolina University. I am a certified Curriculum Specialist from ECU also.
I have been teaching Kindergarten and/or First Grade in Craven County for over 14 years!
I am AWE's Performance Improvement Council (The Cabinet) co-facilitator for the 2009-2010 school year.
My Values and Beliefs:
My motto is "T.E.A.M." which means, "Together Everyone Achieves Much!" I believe in teamwork!
Collaboration is the key to success!
I am a very flexible person.
I am a teacher that believes ALL students can achieve!
I believe that I am here for the students and the parents. Use me as your resource to your child's learning. I am always glad to help.
I am a bubbly person.
I am very outgoing too!
I am very enthusiastic about teaching and learning.
I believe in making learning fun.
Hobbies:
My favorite thing to do is to TEACH young children! Teaching is my hobby and I really love it.
I love watching football. I love ECU football.
Email me and tell me more about your family!

This is Mr. Hamric with Flip Flop!
I am married to the most patient man in the universe. He works for Craven County Schools in the Electrical maintenance department. We were high school sweethearts! We dated 10 years before we got married in 1997. We have known each other for over 20 years! He was raised by a wonderful family in Newport, NC.
My husband and I moved in with my father in Ketner Heights. My father has had many strokes in the past and it just "made sense" that Mike and I move in with him. We now own Pop's house. He didn't want any more bills!

My Parents!
My father was a Marine for 30 years. (He says, "Once a Marine ...ALWAYS a Marine!") My mother was a nurse and a day care owner. She passed away on November 23, 2005. My mama was a totally cool super mom! I am who I am because of her and my family.
My grandpa was in WWII and was a Marine for 27 years. He passed away in May 2003. My granny worked on the base as the Day Care Asst. Director. She was a wonderful Military wife. My grandma passed away in October 2004.
