About Me
My name is Kimberly Dye and I am from Southwest Virginia. I am married and have a son who is two years old and loves who loves to run around with his Dr. Seuss "ABC Book" and read his alphabet. I love to fish and I love old black and white movies. The silent films are my favorites and my favorite actor is Buster Keaton. I recieved my Associate in Arts and Science Degree with a major in Education in 2003 from Mountain Empire Community College. I acutally spent several years after that with odd end jobs and returned to ODU in 2006. My program of study is Pre K-6.

My Philosophy on Teaching
I love children and love working with them. I think that all children should have an opprotunity to have an education. From what I have seen many children tend to fall through the cracks and lose that opprotunity. I also think that it takes more than just teachers to give a child a full education and feel learning begins at home. Parents who work with their children give them advantages that others will not have. Parents have an obligation in my opinion to be the first teacher for their children. Parents are in fact allies of teachers and are not the enemy as they are sometimes treated. I think it takes both the parent and the teacher working together to make sure that a child learns.
