Meet Team PreK!
My name is Chelsie Million, and I am proudly teaching Pre-k at Calhoun! I married my high school sweetheart, and we have a son together. We live on a 64 acre farm (that's more like a zoo) in Englewood. I graduated from Tennessee Wesleyan University with my bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and from Arkansas State University with my Masters. This is my 8th year teaching Pre-k but new to this district. I am so excited to be in a new school with all new faculty and staff to meet and of course my new students and families within my class. We will have a wonderful school year!
My name is Robin Walker. I am Calhoun’s PreK Aide. I live on a ridge in a log cabin with my husband of 43 years. We have 1 daughter and 2 sons. All my children attended Calhoun! We are now grandparents to 5 boys and 3 girls. This is my 6th year in pre-k, and I subbed for 7 years before that. I love to cook and ride around in our 1930 model A truck and our 1930 coupe. We attend Cleveland First Baptist and enjoy time with our family.
We would like to thank CapStar Bank and Junior Achievement representative Gena Shirk for coming to conduct a lesson with our fifth graders today!

Check out this from 4th Grade:
Our science unit this month deals with forming and testing a hypothesis. Using our STEAM Bin materials, students were tasked with conducting an experiment to construct the best book holder! They had to form a hypothesis, test their structure to see how many books it would hold, and make adjustments as needed. At the end, they had to observe, “did our hypothesis match our results?” Every group approached it in a different and creative way!
We are so proud of our 4th grade Minks! Engineering in their future?! Maybe so!
