Students learn more when they have the opportunity to make choices and be involved in their education.  I am very lucky to be in a position that often  allows me to give children that option.   My name is Jeanne Boniol and I have the privilege of being the GT teacher at Eastridge Elementary.  My  experience with Red Oak ISD began in 2015 as a 3rd grade teacher.   Previously, I taught for 11 years in Midlothian and began my teaching career in Lancaster.  I have spent a majority of my career teaching 2nd and 3rd grade including being  a 2nd/3rd grade looping teacher for several years.  I have also taught 4th grade.  Prior to teaching GT, my experience involved teaching all subjects in a self-contained classroom, team teaching, and co-teaching in an inclusion classroom.
