This will be my third year teaching at Woodlawn Elementary. It has been a gift to come back and teach in the same school I grew up in and share the Woodlawn experience with my own children. I owe my love of teaching and reading to my fourth grade teacher; Mrs. Miller (it was in her class here at Woodlawn that I decided I wanted to be a teacher), to my own four children and to the countless students I have been so lucky and blessed to have learn beside and grow with on this journey. The classroom is always my second home. "Books may well be the only true magic."-- Alicia Hoffman.
