Welcome to Mrs. Kinnear's 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Science Classroom.  This is my 4th year at Advantage Academy Grand Prairie West (GPW).  This is my seventh year as a classroom teacher and I have been certified in  Education since May 2007.  Advantage Academy GPW has been a very challenging and rewarding place to teach.  I so much enjoy spending time with students and helping them grow.  My philosophy is to never give up on students and I am determined to help each and every child learn.  

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Fashion Merchandising and minor in Marketing from Texas Christian University in 1987.  I attended Graduate classes in Elementary Education at Texas Christian University in 2005 to 2007.  My husband, James works at AAFES (Army & Air Force Exchange Service) corporate office as a Planner for their stores.  I live in Hurst, Texas with James and two dogs, Goldi and Charlie.  My mother is moving in with us in June 2021.

I hope to have a succcessful year and my door is always open to discuss anything regarding how to help your child excel in class and in life.  My email address is janice.kinnear@advantageacademy.org.
