Hello!  My name is Elizabeth Coats and this is my 15th year teaching 1st grade at Eastern.  I am married to my husband, Brandon.  We have 3 beautiful children:  Caleb (7), Kelsey (5), and Carlee (4).  I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in the 2nd grade.  As I grew up, I always loved working with kids and loved school.  Now that I am a teacher, I want to share the love of school with my students.  

I graduated from Campbell University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.  Go Camels!  In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my family, taking pictures, and cooking.  

I love keeping my students moving and engaged during our lessons.  I love to watch them learn and grow.  We have so many exciting things planned this year and I can't wait to experience these with my students!  

Favorite Things:  Purple, Olive Garden, Coffee, Caramel Chocolate, and Amazon
