Hi all!

I’m Stacey Reed from Baltimore, MD.  This is my 15th year of teaching in the Baltimore City public schools system.  (For 3.5 years, I homeschooled pre-K-6th in Kissimmee, FL.)  This year, I’m teaching AP Seminar, AP Research, and Independent Study Science.  (My science elective tends to change every year.)  Fostering a love for reading is a passion of mine.  So excited to connect with all of you!

Hi everyone!  I’m Kristin Rambo, from Pottstown, PA.  This is my 24th year teaching in the Pottsgrove School District.  I have had the pleasure of teaching pre-first, 1st grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, and currently 2nd grade.  I have also had the opportunity to hold the role of IST, but I missed working directly with the kids, so I chose to move back into the classroom.  I love finding new and exciting ways to get my students excited about reading and writing, so Alane’s video series has been an amazing tool in my toolbox!  I am really looking forward to connecting with all of you and learning from you!

Hi, I’m Monica Baker. I am a 5th grade teacher from Michigan.  This is my 15th year. Last year I accepted a position in a public school district after being at a charter school for 13 years.  It has been a lot of change, so different.

Hello new friends! I’m Michelle Woyshner, and I’m a 3rd grade teacher from Delran. NJ. It’s a suburban town outside of Philadelphia. I’ve been teaching in my district for 26 years in kindergarten, second, and third grade. One year I looped with a class to fourth grade. While I am avid reader and enjoy writing, I find teaching ELA to be a little bit challenging at times.  I’m looking forward to use Alane’s videos to get my kids motivated and excited to read and write. I’m always looking for new ideas to implement on the classroom! I became a grandmother this past summer.  My granddaughter, Maddalena Clare, was born in July. I can’t wait to get to know all of you!
