I graduated from University of South Carolina-Aiken in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I also have a Gifted and Talented Endorsement from USCA. This is my 18th year teaching and I have been in third grade in the same room at Jefferson every year.  I have loved every minute of it! I love teaching 3rd grade because there are so many new and exciting things that students learn in 3rd grade. I also love the transition that takes place in 3rd grade from "learning to read" to "reading to learn."

I am a proud Momma to 3 children. Kennedy is in 5th grade and Mark is in 3rd grade, both here at Jefferson! My daughter Blythe is a preschooler and she can't wait to join us at school one day!

In my spare time, I like to watch Carolina football (GO COCKS!), read, go the movies, exercise, run, drink coffee, go to the beach and spend time with family and friends. I am a member of Stevens Creek Church and I serve at the Augusta Dream Center. If I am not spending time with my kids or driving them to their various extra curricular activities,  I am either curled up reading a good book or on a run.  

I love: my kids, Jesus, roller coasters, the public library, traveling, chocolate, Starbucks, 90's nostalgia, anything garnet and black, the gym, Tom Petty, summer, red roses, my bookclub, my church, being a cheer/pageant mom and a soccer/basketball/baseball mom and food!

I am also the running club coach here at Jefferson. Running club season starts in February and is open for 1st through 5th grade students. Our season ends in May with a track meet at Midland Valley High School.

The best way to get in touch with me is through e-mail. My e-mail is ckaune@acpsd.net. You may also message me on ClassDojo or call the school during my planning period. The phone number at the school is 803-593-7180 and my planning period is 8:45-9:30.

*I post ALL class info on Class Dojo. This is the best way to connect with what is going on in our classroom!
