Hello Families,

 My name is Shelley Crossen, and I will be the ECI Literacy specialist at Saltar's Point this year.
 
 I have been teaching here in the state of Washington for 30 years.  Most of my career has been spent teaching 4th and 5th grade...my favorites!  I taught in Federal Way for most of   my career at both elementary and middle school.  So I have seen what 4th and 5th graders need to be prepared for, and I am focused on helping students and families feel ready   for the transition.  Prior to moving to Saltar's Point Elementary, I spent five years teaching in a 3rd-5th grade class on Anderson Island.  It was a wonderful introduction to   Steilacoom.  

 When I am not teaching, I spend time with my husband, my son, and my extended family in eastern Wa.  I also enjoy traveling anywhere sunny and HOT, being on the water,   reading, and working in my yard.

 I look forward to getting to know you and your children this year.
