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.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo... We are taken on journey and in the end learn that even the most breakable hearts can learn to love, lose, and love again.
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 sixth 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. The past two summers I have taught children's cooking camps through Marbles Kids Museums. 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 even 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, and our two mischievous cats, Murphy and Myron.
