Somer Lay
5th Grade Team
Welcome to McKeel Academy Central and to 5th Grade Math! This is my 20th year teaching and my 12th year at MAC. I have taught kindergarten, second, fourth, and fifth grades. This is my 11th year teaching fifth grade. I love teaching and have a passion for what I do and the children that I teach. I have lived in Lakeland for most of my life. I graduated from the University of South Florida and am certified to teach grades K-6 and Mathematics 6-12. I also have my ESOL endorsement and Reading Endorsement. I am looking forward to an exciting and successful school year!
