Mrs. Felicia Burkhalter
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.
