Hello, my name is Judi Ryder and I am your child’s first grade teacher this year.  I have previously taught Special Education and Reading Intervention through our LAP (Learning Assistance Program) and most recently 2^nd grade last year.  This is my fourteenth year teaching at Black Lake Elementary. 

A little bit about me…

• I live in McCleary, and grew up on Whidbey Island
• I enjoy reading, camping, traveling, arts & crafts, and have been known to spontaneously break out into dance when a good song comes on the radio 
• I have an nine-year-old son that is in the 3rd grade this year
• I like to play tricks on my co-workers and students (especially on April 1^st)
• Some adjectives my friends use to describe me include: patient, understanding, consistent, funny, dedicated, knowledgeable, and soft-spoken
