Ms. Patricia Knight

Kindergarten - 01

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago with two brothers and a sister, so winter is my favorite season! We loved sledding, building snowmen, and having snowball fights! I have two children who both live here in Memphis. I have a cat named Boogie who likes to take walks with me. 
 
I attended the University of Memphis where I earned both a bachelors and a master's degree in Early Childhood Education. My favorite grade to teach is kindergarten. Kindergarteners are excited to come to school, learn, make friends, and give hugs to their teacher! I love to read, so reading books to my class fills me with joy! My goal each year is to instill a love of learning and reading to all the children I teach.
