Teacher Interview: Glenda Crocker
With 32 years of wonderful experiences I am ready to begin 2014 school year with excitement and anticipation. I have taught kindergarten, first, second and fifth grade during my eventful career. I obtained my masters and National Board Certification while teaching first and second grades. With all the new strategies and resources available everyday I am looking forward to learning right along with my first graders.
