My name is Mrs. Bette Hinckley.  I have been teaching for 36 years, 23 of which have been at Wedgewood.  I have a B.A. degree from Northeast Louisiana University and a Masters Degree in Elementary Education from L.S.U.  I am originally from Alexandria, Louisiana but have spent the last 31 years in Baton Rouge.  I have been married for 33 years and have two children, a girl and a boy, one son-in-law, and one precious grandson born in 2008.

I have only taught in the primary grades, with most years spent in 1st grade.  My second love is art having many years of private instruction.
