Meredith Cook's Introduction

Hello! My name is Meredith Cook and I'm a 3rd/4th grade science and writing teacher at Eminence Independent School. I absolutely love my job because I enjoy doing hands on science activities with my students. I teach writing to my homeroom students and we are currently working on editing our personal narratives. Although I am not a reading teacher, I still enjoy reading fiction and non fiction science books to my students. I also place my students in leveled reading groups at the end of every chapter so that they can review what we learned.  I feel that it's very important for students to read daily in order to build their vocabulary and understanding of concepts. 
I LOVE to read books!!! I have a variety of authors that I enjoy.  I have read every book by Nicholas Sparks! I also enjoy mystery books by James Patterson and Mary Higgins Clark.  I love to read many different genres and types of books.  I recently just read the books "Cage of Stars" by  Jacquelyn Mitchard and  "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. Both of these books were beautifully written and were tearjerkers. 
When I am not teaching I enjoy reading, working out at the gym, making crafts, walking my miniature pinscher named Rex, hanging out with my boyfriend, family, and friends. My boyfriend and I are getting married this summer on June 30th.  I'm so very excited and can't wait! :-)
