Dive into Language Arts with Mrs. McNair

at Rhea Central Elementary

All About Me

I have been teaching Language Arts for nine years at Rhea Central. In addition to my teaching certification, I have a degree in journalism. I am married to Ed McNair, who is an electrical engineer. I have two children. My daughter, Tami, is a hairstylist in Chattanooga and has one daughter, Leeah. My son, Will, is a Senior Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy and serves on a fast-attack submarine. He and his wife, Anissa, have three children; Brendan, Jaramia, and Sienna.

My hobbies are reading, gardening, and scruba diving. When it's too cold to plant trees and flowers, I read every chance I get. As far my diving hobby, I have been diving in Aruba, the Florida Keys, and in the Caymen Islands. I have also frozen while diving in a quarry in Athens, Tennessee. (You only do this when you are really wanting to dive and don't have the time to travel to warmer places.) I used to be a volunteer diver in the Tennessee Aquarium, feeding fish and cleaning the glass walls in the tanks. My schedule got a little crowded and I had to give this up. My husband still feeds occasionally, but since they have added the big sharks, he doesn't enjoy it as much as he used to.

Dive back in soon and see what's swimming around.

See ya at school!!!!!
