Welcome to my Kindergarten class. My name is Dawn Spain and I am originally from southern California. I graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Journalism and I received my teaching certificate from UNC Charlotte. I have now taught in Charlotte Mecklenburg schools for 5 years. I have taught 4th grade and Kindergarten. I currently live in Huntersville, NC with my husband Greg and our youngest daughter, Summer. Our oldest daughter, Shannon, a speech pathologist, and her husband, Bryan live in Washington, DC. Our middle daughter, Stephanie is in dental school at UNC Chapel Hill. I feel it is important to have strong parent participation. I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns during the year. I believe it is important for us to work together as a team to help your child achieve a positive learning experience.
