Hi. My name is David Stoner. This is my site  devoted to literacy. I post daily here if you wish to visit. I have many writing workshop mini lessons here. I live in Madison, Indiana. I have two children: Cory is a Senior at IU and my daughter is sophomore at Madison Consolidated High School.   We have a blind Cocker Spaniel named Sammy and a one year old Belgian Shepherd named Luka. Here are some pics of Luka at eight weeks and then again at one year. I am passionate about literacy and teaching. I teach a fourth grade class at E O Muncie Elementary School in Madison, Indiana. I also am Co Director at the Indiana Univeristy Southeast Writing Project in New Albany, Indiana. We are a local site of the National Writing Project.
