Marian Hollingsworth
5th Grade Teacher Copeland Elementary
Hello! I began teaching at Copeland Elementary School for the school year 2021-2022.
I am thrilled to be teaching in Copeland!
The Basics
My name is Marian Hollingsworth. My husband Bob and I live near Copeland. We have a peaceful life with our Australian Shepherd, Zee, and a bird named Bird, various no-name chickens and a barn cat. We have 6 children and eight beautiful grandchildren. You may know some of them! ;-)
My Education
I have been in education for 21 years, first as a para in Copeland/Montezuma, then as a teacher. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education from Fort Hays University. I have a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Newman University and also an ESOL Endorsement. I Have been teaching at Wilroads Gardens Elementary School for the last 15 years. I taught First Grade for 13 years, Science and Social Studies for 3rd, 4th and 5th for one year and last year, 5th grade.
My Childhood
I was born in Natchez, MS and grew up in the Mississippi Delta and in Murfreesboro, TN. My family was big with lots of half sisters and brothers, but I only lived with my mom. I enjoyed playing clarinet in band and horseback riding as a young girl.
My Favorites
My favorite thing to do most lately is porch-sitting. I am interested in health and nutrition and have been listening to a lot of podcasts this summer. I like gardening, Bible study, reading, and drawing. I love designing spaces for learning, sharing, and being peaceful in my home and classroom.
