About the Teacher
WELCOME TO MRS. FRAIN’S 4TH GRADE ELA CLASS!
Bio: I grew up in Memphis where I went to Harding Academy. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a mommy and a teacher. I am thoroughly enjoying living out my life-long dream! In 2002, I married my college sweetheart, Tom, so I moved down to the 'country life' (to a Memphis girl, that was Hernando!), but a few years ago, we moved to Olive Branch to be closer to Lewisburg. We have a son, Eli (10th grade) and a daughter, Sarah (8th grade). We also have two dogs, Ace (a black goldendoodle) and Finn (a cream mini goldendoodle), a cat, Whiskers, and a leopard gecko, Oscar.
I am a member of Colonial Hills Church in Hernando where I serve as a 10th grade youth leader. I love to go to exercise, and I love to eat (oxymoron, right?)! I love kids and am looking forward to an amazing school year :-)
Education: I graduated from University of Memphis where I received my Bachelor's in Education. A few years later, I completed my Master's degree in Literacy and Learning in the Content Areas from Walden University.
Experience: I taught for 5 years at Collierville Middle School. I took 7 years off of teaching to stay home with my two children. During my time off, I worked part-time as a TST interventionist in Desoto County Schools, I taught online at Northstar Academy, I was a long-term substitute, and I tutored several students. This is my 9th year to teach 4th grade ELA at Lewisburg.

*Please use the school form for your child’s absences. You can print this directly off the school website. Please limit absences and check-outs as much as possible…attendance is important! We highly encourage attendance, but we know occasionally absences occur for various reasons. Please send a note for every day your child misses school including check outs. If your child visited the doctor, it is always best to have a doctor's note. Sending a note could keep you off of the truant list. Details are always available in your child's agenda in the handbook section.
*If you have not signed up for parent portal, I strongly encourage you to do so. Check with the front office to receive your login information. Grades are posted as soon as I have them graded, so this way you will know immediately what is happening with your child and his/her grades.
