Marias

Hi my name is Maria Sproat. I am a special education teacher at Brandywine Heights Area School District. This is my 2nd year teaching and I absolutly love it! I am teaching READ180 as an inclusion classroom. I push out for Science and Social Studies. I teach lower level Math. I cannot wait to take what I learn from this class to my students. I have taken one other course before this, Differentiated Instruction. I have used what I have learned to make my classroom more differentiated. I have been married for 2 years. My husband and I like to go and spectate at professional sporting events. I also like getting together with friends, watching my husband play sports, playing video games. My parents own an italian restaurant in Allentown. I have worked there for a long time even while attending college. I visit my parents often at the restaurant. I am telling you about this because the restaurant was such a huge part of my life.
