Concept Map - Historic Symbols of Patriotism

Introduction - Holli Mason

Hello, everyone!  My name is Holli Mason.  I received my elementary teaching degree from UWA in 1991.  That really shows my age!  During my teaching career, I have primarily taught first grade.  In 2008, I took a leave from teaching in order for my husband & I to pursue an international adoption.  Since bringing my children home to Butler, Alabama, I have enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom.  My husband and I were blessed to adopt a precious brother and sister pair who are happy, healthy, and well-adjusted children. This is my second graduate class to do online, and I see some familiar names.  Hello, everyone from Educational Planning!  I am preparing to return to teaching hopefully next year, but until then I keep myself busy acting as room mother for my daughter's class, occasionally substituting, being a Girl Scout troop leader, and taking graduate classes. I look forward to learning about how to integrate technology into the classroom.  Good luck to all of you in this class!
