I'm Amanda Carroll.  I am orginally from the Boston area and moved to Clayton, NC when I was 7 years old.  I graduated from Clayton High School.  After high school, I attended East Carolina University where I earned my education degree with a concentration in history.  I've been teaching at McGee's since 2005.  I have taught 2nd, 4th, 5th, and now this year 3rd grade.  My son is in the sixth grade and I have a toddler at home who keeps me busy. My family also includes our dog Gronk.  I am a big football fan rooting for my favorite team the New England Patriots and I love reading books.  I also enjoy watching movies and shows on Netflix with my family on the weekend.  We also enjoy trips to Walt Disney World.  I enjoy teaching and hope my love for learning is evident to my students.
