About Mrs. Skeate...

    My life...I am married to a 6th grade Social Studies teacher and high school football coach.  We live in Marion, which is where I was born and raised.  We have a daughter, Emma Kay, who is already 20 months old. She is full of personality and is the light of our lives! 

    I LOVE SCIENCE!  I also enjoy scrapbooking, shopping, swimming, and spending time with my family and friends. My favorite vacation spot is a beach! 

    My education...I received my Bachelors of Science degree in Middle School Math and Science Education from Murray State University in December of 1995.  I also have a Master's Degree in Middle School Science Education from Murray State University.  I completed 16 additional hours in Curriculum and Instruction at SIU-Carbondale.

    My teaching experience...I have been teaching science for 15 years.  I began my teaching career in Murray, Kentucky at Calloway County Middle School. I taught 8th grade science for 5 years.  I then moved back home to Marion.  I taught 7th and 8th grade Math and Science in Mt. Vernon, Illinois at Casey Middle School for 2 years. I have been teaching 7th grade Science here at CIS for 10 years.
