About Miss Wheeler
I graduated from Miami University in the spring of 1979 and began my teaching career in Middletown that fall. I have attended workshops, local and national conferences and completed classes at Wright State and Xavier. I earned my Master's Degree from Marygrove College in Michigan. Beginning in the fall of 1979, I taught for two years in the old Amanda Elementary before moving into the present Amanda Elementary School. During my career at Amanda I have worked with seven principals and taught learning disabled and developmentally handicapped students in grades 1-6. For the past five years I worked with 6th grades students in the resource room and all 6th grade students in the inclusion classroom setting. The 6th grade students are no longer attending Amanda. This year I am enjoying teaching 3rd and 4th grade special needs students in the resource room while providing support in the 3rd and 4th grade inclusion classes.
I love computers, crafts, reading, jigsaw puzzles, outdoor activities, and animals (especially cats and horses). I spend time with my mother and relatives in Urbana as often as possible. My mother, aunts, and I enjoy trips to Gatlinburg. My friends and I enjoy dinner out, movies, shopping, vacationing, and spending hours just chatting. Anyone who knows me most likely knows I am an avid Barry Manilow fan. I have enjoyed recent trips to Las Vegas just to see his show (multiple times)!!
