Franklin The Turtle And Friends

Hi!! My name is Dede Barfield, and I am currently enrolled in the Early Childhood Program at Valdosta State University. I recently graduated fromAbraham Baldwin College in Tifton Georgia. I am from Fitzgerald Georgia, and I am very excited about becoming a teacher!!! I worked as a paraprofessional for four years, and finally decided to go back to college to pursue a career in Education. I have been married for five years, and I have a two year old daughter named Macy.

Some of the things I enjoy are singing and spending time with my family. Keith, Macy, and myself live on a farm where we enjoy riding our four-wheeler. Keith and I also like to canoe, and we recently canoed theFlint River.

My family also enjoys taking trips to visit Chehaw Park in Albany. There are lots of animals there, and the park is also a great place to fly kites and eat picnic lunches.

One other park that Keith, Macy, and myself enjoy visiting is Wild Adventures, in Valdosta. Keith enjoys riding the roller coasters, and Macy and I enjoy seeing all of the animals. Her favorite animal is the elephant. We also enjoy going to all of the concerts that the park hosts.

I really enjoy working with children, and I hope that someday I will become a teacher who impacts my students' lives.

One thing Macy and I enjoy doing is reading books every night before bedtime. I love seeing the joy in her eyes when she knows that we are going to read. One great place to purchase books on-line is at Amazon.com. Their books are very reasonable, and it is a very convenient way to shop.
