Witney Christie, 1st grade Teacher | wchristie@bostonpublicschools.org

My name is Bryde King, and I am a proud member of the first grade team at Bates Elementary School. I began my teaching career in 1999, and have been a member of the Bates Family since 2004. In my current role of Inclusion Specialist, I collaborate with our two amazing first grade teachers; spending part of each day co-teaching in both classrooms. Every day I witness tiny miracles- I am so blessed to be part of the education of your child. Most days are spent thinking about how much gains a child has made, or how to make it a better day for a particular student. We truly work together to figure out how to improve our practice, and likewise improve the experience of all children. Creating a nurturing atmosphere that allows students to feel safe and accepted is one of my top priorities. I live in Quincy with my husband and two daughters. When I am not teaching I spend my time on DIY projects or having fun with my family.
