Hello! I am Mrs. Telina Bates. This is my thirteenth year of teaching. I have taught second grade, third grade, and fourth grade. I am excited to be back in second grade. I am a two-time graduate of UAB and I received my Ed.S. from UWA. GO BLAZERS AND TIGERS! When I am not teaching, I enjoy looking online for ideas to bring to my classroom. I love to read. You will rarely see me without a paintbrush or glue in my hand. I love watching TV with my husband. I love spoiling my niece! I love teaching your children! If you need anything, I am an open door. You can email me at bates@telina.tarrant.k12.al.us or you can call the school. Thanks for all you do!
