About Me
My name is Elizabeth Bantly, and I have been teaching in Metro Nashville Public Schools for 4 years with 3 of those being in 4th grade ELL at Una Elementary. I grew up in Atlanta with my parents and 2 brothers, and I have wanted to be a teacher since I was about 10 years old. I have a pet rabbit named Madison, whom some students have enjoyed getting to meet.
