In the Spotlight

Martha Cocklin-1st grade teacher

Ms. Cocklin has been an educator for over 20 years and her 1st grade students feel like she is “the best teacher in the whole wide world.”  When Martha is at school, she enjoys meeting with her collegues over lunch.  This gives her a chance to take a few deep breaths from her busy day.  Not very many people know that Ms. Cocklin had an amazing childhood growing up in the country.  She spent time climbing trees, building forts, riding horses and tubing in the Lewis River.  She loves to spend her weekends reading, yoga-ing, walking or hiking with friends, and her dog.  She recently read a book called, Dog On It by Spencer Quinn.  It is a mystery story told from the point-of-view of the dog.  We are so glad that Ms. Cocklin is a part of our school staff!
