Classic: Matilda by Roald Dahl I will never forget when my third grade teacher, Mrs. Goodin, read it aloud to my class. New: Edward's Eyes by Patricia MacLachlan... a real tear jerker that shows us the importance of family relationships and the events that shape them.
Get to Know Mrs. Noland...
North Carolina hasn't always been my home. I moved to Cary with my husband after we both graduated from Shepherd University, a small school in West Virginia. Until college, I lived with my family in Morgantown, WV. My parents still live there and I visit often. I decided I wanted to be a teacher in the second grade. When I was a kid, playing school was one of my favorite things to do. My childhood dream has come true and this coming year will be my fifth teaching at Farmington Woods IB/PYP. Not only do I teach kids like you, I also teach a yoga class for grown ups at Gold's Gym three times a week. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with family and friends, running, riding my bike, swimming, cooking, and reading . I like to run in races and recently completed a marathon (that's 26.2 miles!). Also, I really enjoy participating in sprint triathlons. Most of all I love hanging out with my husband, Mason, our two mischievous cats, Murphy and Myron, and our sweet dog, Matilda.
