Hi! My name is April Grant, and I am one of the ELA teachers of the fifth grade team. This is my fifth year teaching and I am thrilled to be at Dewey L. Carter Elementary. I have a great passion for teaching and I work hard to engage students in learning through high-energy and hands-on lessons.  I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, and earned my Bachelors Degree from Francis Marion University. Then I went on to earn a Masters in Management and a Masters in Business from Webster University. I later obtained a Masters in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband and two girls.  We love to travel, visit waterparks, and attend various sport events. My goal is to always create a safe and fun learning environment for your children while preparing them for the sixth grade. I am excited and looking forward to teaching and learning with your child this year.
