Hello! My name is Gina Battaglia Carter. I live in Lawrence with my husband and two cats. I have two children, Matthew, 25 years old, and Ellie, 21 years old. My son is a high school teacher, and my daughter is also studying to be a teacher. I've been in education for 28 years. This is my 5th year at Woodlawn. I  love this school! I am excited about teaching Kindergarten and Title Reading this year! I will teach Kindergarten in the morning and reading intervention groups in the afternoon! I've had teaching experience in Kindergarten, 1st, 4th and 5th grades. I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from KU. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!   I love gardening (veggies and flowers) and cooking for my family and friends. I enjoy watching baseball and football, and I love going to concerts!  So happy to be a Woodlawn Riverhawk!!!
