Hi! My name is Paul Anthony Barnes.
Last updated July 28th, 2011 at 6:09 a.m.I am pleased to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to the fifth grade. I believe a good learning experience is built upon a cooperative effort among parents, child, and teacher. I look forward to the work and growth we will all accomplish this school year.
Let me take the time to introduce myself. My name is Paul Anthony Barnes. I graduated from Hillcrest High School in Sumter, SC. I attended the University of South Carolina and received a minor in Music Education. I later moved to Gulfport and attended the University of Southern Mississippi where I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have been teaching for 10 wonderful years, and now I await the challenges and adventures that will make my 11th year just as memorable.
I enjoy traveling, reading, listening to music, going to the movies, and collecting comic books and figures. I come from a large family of four sisters, one brother, and a loving mother. I do not know what I would do without them.
I love teaching the fifth grade at Bayou View Elementary, and I cannot wait to share my knowledge of the wonderful world of grammar and writing.
