5th Grade ELAR/Social Studies

Hey there! My name is Mrs. Gainey! I am 30 years old and happily married to Coach Gainey. We have two children (soon to be three); Everly, who will be in Second grade, Case, who will be a Kindergartener, and baby Kittley! We also have two dogs, Chief and Meg. I am an avid sports fan and reader. When I'm not at games or sporting events, I can be found reading a good book on my Kindle! I ran track and cheered at McMurry University, where I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education in 2016. 
 
I am entering my 10th year as an educator, however, I've spent my entire life surrounded by a family of educators. I've previously taught 1st and 2nd grade general education and I'm trained in dyslexia intervention. My passion is to help all learners grow and develop a love for literature that will guide them throughout their lifetime. 
 
My family and I love being Wink Wildcats and all that encompasses. We look forward to seeing you and meeting you (if we haven't already!) I am so excited for a wonderful year, Go Cats!
