Mrs. Tracey Butler is a veteran sixth grade language arts teacher at
Arlington Middle School. She loves being a part of the educational process.
As a child she dreamed of being a teacher and to support that dream, her
parents built and furnished a schoolroom for her in the garage. Although
her students are no longer dolls and teddy bears, she still arrives to the
classroom with the same enthusiasm and passion. She has dedicated her life
to helping students realize their dreams. Her commitment is evident in the
after school programs she has developed and the extracurricular activities
she has designed. Recently she overheard a student saying he wished a
character he was reading about was a real person, and her peals of joy could
be heard in the hallway.
Ms. Claire Casaccio is first year 5th grade Academic Intervention Services
teacher at PS 384 in Brooklyn. Her training in English has enabled her to
meet the needs of struggling readers by presenting them with a variety of
creative and engaging activities to supplement the literature. She is
dedicated to showing all students how applicable literature is to their own
lives and to instilling a sense of confidence and the desire to succeed
within all. She is always anxious to find innovative ways to approach the
study of literature.
