Amanda's Journey to Education...

Follow me as I embark on the exciting journey to become a teacher!

Fall Festival Time!!!


I have had a GREAT day!!! Every year our school has a Fall Festival the Friday before Halloween.  This is a great way for the elementary classrooms and other clubs in the school to raise money for things they might need throughout the year.  It is always a huge success and is fun for the parents, teachers and students.

The way the festival works is each organization (3rd grade, Spanish club, Junior Class, etc.) has a different booth that students can go to and play a game, buy food, get nails painted, faces painted, etc.  Parents, grandparents, teachers, and students work the booths so everyone enjoys the fun and games for the day.  Each grade level gets to attend the festival during their allotted times throughout the day (this way booths are not overloaded with everyone at once), and it is always fun regardless of which grade is out there!

The fall festival is just one more “perk” that students at Parkers Chapel get to enjoy every year, and I am surprised to see all of the alumni that show up throughout the day to enjoy it with their children and grandchildren.  It is one of those traditions that I hope we can always enjoy throughout life regardless of how old we get!

Each student has the potential to reach higher than they expect. The way we as educators help them to achieve this potential is to expect nothing less than their absolute best!
  • About Me...
      Hello Everyone!! My name is Amanda Shoup and I am from Parkers Chapel, a small community in El Dorado, Arkansas. I am happily married to my wonderful husband, Jeremy, and we have a seven year-old son, Trace. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Management with an emphasis in Marketing, and I am currently enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching Program at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. I currently do not have a job, and I am certified to teach Business Education in grades 7th – 12th, but living in a small town, those jobs are few and far between. I am not giving up hope, though, because I know there is a job for me, I just hope it comes along soon! My hobbies include whatever sport my son is playing, which is currently Pee Wee Football, doing home improvement projects, hunting, and spending time with my family. I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me through the MAT program, and into the field of education!
