Mrs. Angela Holmes – Literacy Coach Grades 5-8. This is my tenth year teaching at Spencer Van Etten and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. I’ve been in education for the past eighteen years, in many different roles, in multiple states. I began as a classroom teacher and have taught Kindergarten, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grades in Kansas, Virginia, and now New York. The past 5 years I have been working as a literacy specialist at our elementary school and this year have become full time here at the middle school. My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Mansfield University, PA. My master’s degree is from Old Dominion University, VA and is in Reading Education Grade K-12. I live in Spencer NY with my husband and three children. When I’m not working with kids, I like to garden, run, read and watch my kids play sports. I love books and have read many but my most favorite book is, Walk Two Moons, by Sharon Creech.
