=Welcome to the Differentiation Specialist Update!=

This wiki is designed to inform parents, students, and teachers about what is going on in the AIG cluster classrooms that I visit each week. I hope that you will check it often, post comments or questions on the discussion page, or feel free to email me at susan_peacock@iss.k12.nc.us.

An introduction:
I am new to Iredell Statesville Schools this year, and I am very excited to be here. I am a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill (and an overly enthusiastic sports fan - Go Heels!) with a degree in Intermediate Education, and I have a Master's Degree in Reading Education from UNC-Charlotte. I have North Carolina licensure in Elementary Education, Middle Grades Language Arts, Reading Education K-12, Academically Gifted Education K-12, and Literacy Coaching. I am in my 22nd year of teaching, and I have taught all grades from 3rd through 8th. This year, I serve the following elementary schools: Central, Celeste Henkel, N.B. Mills, Lakeshore, Sharon, Scotts, Troutman, and Union Grove.

I live in Catawba County with my husband Moe, our son Reece, three Pomeranians named Lilly, Lola, and Lexie, and a parakeet named Romeo. I enjoy reading young adult literature and getting students excited about reading.My favorite young adult novel is __Inkheart__ by Cornelia Funke and my favorite overall novel is __Tuesdays with Morrie__ by Mitch Albom. I also enjoy most sports (especially watching my son play), dancing, and traveling to warm locations with clear water and white, sandy beaches.

I have a passion for teaching all children, but I see a special need for making sure that gifted students are challenged and encouraged to use their gifts to achieve at the highest level. I look forward to working with these students this year in the Iredell Statesville school system.
