All About Me

    My name is Laura McGilberry and I am the Media Specialist at Yarbrough Elementary in Auburn, Alabama.  I wanted to be a teacher from the moment I got my first baby doll.  I would spend my days teaching the baby doll how to read.  It wasn't until I went to school some years later that I realized that I didn't know how to read.   After graduation, I started college at Covenant College in Chattanooga, TN.  After three years and a semester abroad, I transferred to Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, AL.  I graduated in December of 2003.  In January of 2004, I took over a second grade class at Oxford Elementary. Then, I taught third grade at Oxford Elementary in Oxford, Alabama (2004-2005 school year).  In  2005, I moved here to Auburn and taught fourth grade at Yarbrough.  I really enjoyed working with my fourth graders but second grade is where I thrive.  I spent two wonderful years in second grade here at Yarbrough.  In the summer of 2007, I completed my Master's in Media Specialty.  I love the avenues this new area of study has opened up.  Since having my first child, I have decided that it is time to pack up the classroom and head down another new avenue.  I can't wait to see where this job will lead!
