Mrs. Wende Tate
Hello! My name is Wende Tate, and I am thrilled to be your child's third-grade teacher this year! I’ve been a proud member of the Columbia school community for the past seven years, where I have had the pleasure of teaching a variety of subjects. My goal is to foster a love of learning in all areas and to inspire students to reach their full potential. I am filled with excitement about the upcoming school year and the opportunity to work with your children.
Before becoming a teacher, I spent some time in the corporate world, but my passion for education led me to earn my teaching degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I am deeply committed to creating a classroom environment where every student feels not only supported but also cared for and excited about learning.
I grew up in Franklin, TN, just south of Nashville, and moved to Madison in 2014 with my husband, a Huntsville native. We have a wonderful 3-year-old and are excited about welcoming another baby in September!
I love writing, reading, crafting, baking, and spending quality time with friends and family when I'm not teaching. I am eager to partner with you this year to ensure that your child has a successful and enjoyable third-grade experience!
