I have taught First Grade, Reading Recovery, Read 180, and this is my 9th year as a Second grade teacher. I have a passion for Reading and love helping children fall in love with good literature.
I am married to James Hooten, and we have three fur babies. One cat, Abbey, a Golden Retriever, Maycee and a Border Collie, Zoee. They are spoiled rotten, love to walk on the trail ,and visit Petco. When I have free time I travel to see my favorite nephews and my adorable nieces!! Someone has to spoil them and that is my job as their Aunt
