About Mrs. Rabb...
Welcome to 6th grade! My name is Bettie Rabb, and I am thrilled to be your social studies teacher at AFMS this year. This marks my 10th year teaching, having taught 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. Teaching social studies all day has been a dream of mine, as I am a passionate historian at heart. We will study ancient history thematically as well as chronologically, connecting past events with today's world issues and successes.
I am a second-career teacher, coming to the classroom after five years in local government and twelve years as a busy stay-at-home mom of four terrific kids (Emily, Will, Laura, and John, ages 24 to 16....whom I affectionately call the Rabblets). My husband Mike is a CPA working at Duke University (but, we are avid N.C. State fans....so...go PACK!). We also have a black-and-white cat named Dorothy (she’s kind of a ninja!)! In my spare time, I love to read, cook, and bake; play the piano; watch movies (especially Star Wars movies); visit the Outer Banks (or pretty much anywhere in NC); and spend time with my family and friends. It has always been my belief that all students can learn. As I’ve gotten older, a few other core beliefs have bubbled up: 1) Kids need to believe they can learn and that their brains can grow and are capable of learning new “stuff”. 2) Kids also need a place to test out ideas, explore new thinking, and build relationships. My job involves facilitating all these things in the classroom. We are going to have a magnificent time learning, laughing, succeeding, failing, and growing together this year! I can't wait to get started! Go Chargers! |
