The Coffin Family
We love to read and spend time together.
I am originally from eastern North Carolina, but I enjoy living in the Adirondacks now. I graduated from William Smith College, Geneva, NY, with a degree in English. I earned my M.Ed. in Reading at Lesley University, Cambridge, MA, before moving to Lake Placid in 2001. I taught fourth grade here for six years before I became the Reading Specialist. I have also taught kindergarten and first grade in Baltimore and Boston. I am certified in the Wilson Reading System.
In addition to being the Reading Specialist, I am also the LPCSD Title I Coordinator. I write the Title I grant which provides support for our students needing additional help in reading, writing, spelling and math.
I struggled to learn how to read and spell as a child, and I can relate to all those students who are still learning to read and spell. I learn something about reading and spelling every day, and share it with my students.
I live with my husband, two wonderful children, and our black lab. We love to be outside as a family, especially in the summer. I am glad to be here raising my family and living in such a beautiful area.
