Welcome to 3rd grade!
We want this web site to bridge the gap between home and school. You will find resources to help with homework and to support the curriculum. Additionally, this site will answer the age-old question of, "What did you do today?"

Dana Holman
I have been teaching in MCPS for 18 years. I taught second grade for eleven years and then Moved to third. I am a mom of four. I have two step children who are grown adults and two biological children who are still at home. In my free time I enjoy running, kickboxing and shopping! I'm so excited to be part of the Wims community!!
Kristi Ricca
I have been a teacher in MCPS for 9 years and am starting my fourth year as a 3rd grade teacher. I come from a big family and love when we all get together for birthdays and holidays to hang out with each other. You can usually find me playing, watching, or coaching a sport. I am obsessed with the Redskins and love the Nationals. During the summer I try to go to the beach as much as possible. My two favorite kiddos are my nephew, Jake, and my niece, Kylie. They are 4 and 1 and make me laugh so much. I am so excited to be part of the first group to open Wilson Wims ES and know we are going to have a blast together!
Kim Sweeney
I have been teaching for 19 years. I have taught third grade, first grade, reading, and ESOL. I worked part time for many years when my kids were young. I recently decided to work full time because I missed being a classroom teacher. I have a husband, three kids, and a dog named Grady! I love watching my kids play sports, going to Nationals games, watching the Redskins play, and going camping and canoeing. I also love traveling to new places. I am so excited to be teaching at Wilson Wims ES, and I look forward to a wonderful year with my students!
Kylene Beshore
I have been teaching in MCPS for 3 years. Before I became a teacher, I was a dolphin trainer in the Florida Keys and worked at Walt Disney World's "The Seas with Nemo and Friends" in EPCOT! I love the ocean! I have a husband and a 1 year old daughter along with a cat and dog. I love to dance. I have been a dancer since I was 3 years old and still continue to take classes and teach at the studio I grew up dancing in. My favorite type of dance is tap, but I also like hip-hop and jazz. In my spare time I love reading, shopping, and spending time with my family. This opening year of Wilson Wims ES is going to be fantastic and I feel so lucky to be apart of it!
Zhonette Sligh
I have been teaching for 18 years and taught in grades K-5. I have taught in both Philadelphia and Maryland. I am very excited to be returning back to Montgomery County after teaching in Frederick Md for 7 years. I have three great children (13 and 9 yr old twins), an awesome husband, and a Japanese Chin named Musiq. I enjoy crocheting, scrapbooking, and spending time with my family. My family loves to sing and listen to all types of music. We love Gospel, Jazz, Oldies, and Country music. It is an honor to be a part of the opening of Wilson Wims and I am so excited to meet all of my wonderful students and parents. We will have a great year!!!!
