Sherry

Hello, my name is Sherry Manning. This is my second RTC course and I am hoping to apply the concepts and information from this course into my own classroom. Currently, I teach second grade at Franklin Elementary School in Bergenfield. My husband and I have a son, Logan, who is one and a half. We are in the process of moving and will be residing with my parents until our new house is move-in ready. It's going to be a very BUSY summer!
