Welcome to Third Grade at Cornerstone Elementary!

My name is Meryll Hodson. I was born in Llano, Texas, and I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in English as a Second Language. I am EC-4 certified as well as ESL certified and GT trained. I am married to my best friend, Ryan. He is an English teacher and head golf coach at Austin High School. We have two boys, Brooks and Barrett. Brooks is going into 3rd grade this fall and Barrett will be in Kindergarten this year. We have a sweet dog named Abby. I am sure you will hear a bunch of stories about my dear family throughout the year.

I taught first grade for six years, second grade for two years and this will be my sixth year teaching third grade. I always knew I wanted to become an educator and teach young children. The desire and passion to teach and help others has only grown throughout my years of teaching. 

When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching sporting events, and traveling. I love watching the Houston Astros and the Texas Longhorns.

I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
