Hi, I am Mrs. Crowe. Welcome to my page!  I am Literacy Intervention teacher at Ptarmigan. I have been teaching in Orting schools since 2007. My son Colten and daughter Abbey are graduates of Orting High School.  My twin sons Kyle and Casey will graduate from Orting High School in 2021.

My educational backround includes a Bacholars degree from Washington State University, Teaching certification from Central Washington University, Masters degreee in Early Literacy from Walden University. In December, 2019 I received my National Boards Certification in Reading-Literacy: Early Childhood.

I love all things Literacy for children!

This year at Ptarmigan my reading team has initiated a Kindergarten Blitz in which Kindergarten students were engaged in novel, games and activites to learn their alphabet letters and sounds. In November, 2nd grade students engaged in our 1st ever, Henry and Mudge Extravaganza in which second graders worked to read as many Henry and Mudge books as they could over 4 weeks. Collectively our second graders read 719 books!
