RES 5535: Race, Class, and Gender in Literacy Research (summer 2009)

Hello, my name is Misty Mistretta! This is my sixth graduate class at ASU. I am currently a third grade teacher at Casar Elementary School, in Cleveland County. This is my fifth year teaching! I have taught first grade for four years and this is my first year in third grade! Wow what a difference! I loved teaching first grade because of my passion for teaching children to read. However, I have found a new love, third grade! I am so excited about teaching older students! There is so much more that you can teach them! I live in Rutherford County; I am married and have a five-year-old son that will begin kindergarten this fall! One interesting fact about me is that I have an identical twin sister! Almost every time that she is out shopping, she sees some of my students that assume that she is me. My sister and I look so much alike that my collogue’s and even my own son get us confused (she does not have children).
