Reading and Writing Instruction for Intermediate and Advanced Learners, Spring, 2009, Hickory, NC

I teach third graders at Hiddenite Elementary School in Alexander County. This is my first year teaching third graders. I taught fourth graders for seven years and second graders for eight, all at Hiddenite. I have been married to Darrin for 16 years. We spent the morning playing in the snow with Mackenzie, our five year old daughter. She had great fun sledding, making snow angels, and throwing snowballs! This is my second year in ASU's graduate program. I have thoroughly enjoyed all I have learned and the opportunity to use new strategies and ideas with my students. I look forward to meeting everyone in class on Monday.
Have a wonderful week!
