Hello, my name is Felicia Burkhalter, and I am very excited to be your child's 1st grade teacher.  The 2024 school fall session will begin my 10th year of teaching, and my 6th year teaching here at Shields Elementary. I am looking forward to another great year!  I am a life-long learner.  I received my Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies Degree from Texas A&M Commerce.  

I moved to Red Oak in 2011 along with my husband and youngest daughter, Brianna, who graduated in 2013 from Red Oak High School.  My husband and I are  empty nesters!  We have 4 daughters, 1 son, and 12 wonderful grandchildren. 

I love to teach!  Teaching is my passion and vocation.  I get excited about expanding knowledge and developing my students.  Moreover, I truly believe that if you do  what you love, you will never work a day in your life.  To that end, I believe in being a good steward of whatever is placed in my hands.  In this case... your precious children.  My objective is ensuring their educational growth in a positive and nurturing environment. 

In my spare time, I love creating projects and activities for my students.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, bowling, watching movies, and reading.

As a parent or guardian, you are the most important person in your child's life, and I look forward to working with you to ensure your child's success!  Lastly, I am very thankful for the opportunity to serve you and your children in this capacity.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.  My conference time is 9:30-10:25.  I am also available to speak with you after school.
