Mrs. Whitman
Welcome to the Reading Corner! My name is Mrs. Whitman and I am the Reading Coach here at Meadowfield Elementary. This is my 3rd year as the Reading Coach and my 6th year at Meadowfield. I have been teaching in Richland School District One for 13 years and I love it! Literacy is my passion, and it brings me so much joy when a child falls in love with a book.
