Welcome, my name is Mrs. Kinnear.  I teach 4th & 5th Grade Math & Science at Advantage Academy, Grand Prairie West (GPW).  This is my 6th year at GPW.  This is my ninth year as a classroom teacher and I have been certified in  Education since May 2007.  GPW has been a very 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 from Texas Christian University in 1987.  I returned to Texas Christian University and obtained my Teaching Certificate in 2007 while taking Graduate level classes in Education.  My husband, James works for AAFES (Army & Air Force Exchange Services) as a Replenishment Analyst Level 2.  James works from home.  We live in Hurst, Texas and my mom's dog, Charlie lives with us too. 

My goal is for all of my students to have a rewarding & successful year. 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.
