Hello!  I am Mrs. Leonard and I love teaching!  Prior to teaching in Alabama, I taught 5th grade for nineteen years in the Cartwright School District located in Phoenix, Arizona. In late November 2016, I was hired to teach 6th grade Math at Tarrant Intermediate School.  I loved the challenge of teaching a new grade level and only one subject; but missed teaching multiple subjects. So, I moved back to 5^th grade where I taught Math, Science, and some Language Arts.   After a couple of years, I once again was presented with another challenge, teaching 3^rd grade. I have loved all of the grades I've taught; however, I have found a new love...3rd grade!  

My husband and I, along with our three daughters, moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Trussville in June 2012 to be closer to my husband's family.  Our daughters are now grown with careers and families of their own.  We love spending time with them and our grandchildren whenever possible.  We share our home and lawns with dogs, a cat, and a dozen chickens.  If you ask any of my students, they will tell you, I love chickens!!!  Hence, I welcome my students to my Coop where they become Flock Stars!
