Grace Bible Baptist Elementary School

6th Grade

           I am Miss Overstreet. I was born and raised right here around Baltimore. I grew up in a good Christian home and was homeschooled from 1-12 grade. I graduated from Hyles-Anderson College in Crown Point, Indiana and have been teaching ever since. I love being a teacher and working with young people; it is my passion and my calling. Chesapeake Baptist Church is where I have attended and served my entire life. I am very involved in the music ministry there, as well as the bus ministry. I am very excited to be here at Grace and am looking forward to a prosperous and exciting school year!

 

             Our class verse is Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."  I want this class to do their best to display the fruit of the Spirit in their everyday lives.  The students will have an opportunity to earn special awards if I catch them showing the fruit of the Spirit.

            The second goal I have for the class this year is for each student to learn to love reading.  The love of reading is a habit that can improve a person’s mind in many aspects of life, at school, and at home.  To develop this love of reading, I will require each student to read at least one book a month.  This book must be approved by me at the beginning of each month and I will be assigning a fun project to go along with each book.  I want to make reading a fun and productive pastime.
