You are entering the "Unique" world of Judy Crawford. I teach 4th Grade in Room 103 at Auburn Middle School. Me, Myself and I means several "impersonations" may visit our classroom. I believe learning can and should be FUN! All students can learn, though each child has their own individual learning style. My goal is to identify and adjust my teaching to meet those different learning styles.

Family, Hobbies, and Interests
Oh, where to begin?! I am the 7th child in my family. Since I was born
15 years after my nearest sibling, I have the unique position of being considered
the oldest, youngest, and only child by psychologists! Now you know why I often
present a unique (unusual?) point of view!
I married my high school sweetheart, Denny, and we have managed to raise 3
wonderfully 'normal' children. (Which might surprise some of you who know both of us!)
Malissa, Director of Human resources at the Hebron Hospital, has 2 boys. Cassey,
Copy Specialists for Wolfe Printing, has 1 daughter. Clay, Owner of Crawford
Construction, has 4 children. If you add up the grandchildren it totals 7-3 boys and
4 girls. Yes, I will be glad to give you numerous details on the "outstanding" abilities
and beauty of each of them! (chuckle)
Of course being married to a basketball coach, sports has played an important part in
my life. I played softball and volleyball, coached both sports, watched many, many
basketball games, and even taped quite a few ankles!! I also referee volleyball.
My interests are varied. Gardening, drawing and painting, crocheting, walking, playing
the flute and piano, (not very well!) and being entertained by my grandchildren!
Reading is probably one of my favorite things to do. I am actively involved in the
Nebraska State Reading Association, just completing a term as State President.
It is nice to be able to share my love of reading with your children.
