Hello, my name is Melody Wadley. I am a 1980 graduate of Altus High School. In 1984, I graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. I started teaching in August 1984, in Estelline, TX. I taught second and third grade in one classroom. In 1985, I started teaching second grade at Childress Elementary. I continued with second grade until 1989. At this time, I moved to Childress Junior High. My sixth grade teacher, Jimmy Holmes, encouraged me to become a reading teacher. I currently teach eighth grade reading and one class of seventh grade reading. This is my twenty-fourth year to teach. Twenty-three of the twenty-four years has been with Childress Independent School District.
I believe it is very important for everyone to learn to read. I think the more you read, the smarter you become! My class is very hard to fail, but not a cinch to pass either. I have set high expectations for all my students. You must try to help yourself first, then, if you need help, I am here! My classroom atmosphere is pretty laid back because I want the students to feel comfortable in my class. I enjoy all my students and feel like they enjoy being in my class!
I married ♥ Randy Wadley in 1985. We have been happily married for 21 years. We have two wonderful children. Ryan♥ is 16 years old and is in 11th grade. MacKenzie♥ is 12 years old and is in 7th grade. We have two dogs, Tex and Dexter.
My conference time is 1:50-2:40. If you have any questions feel free to call the school at 940-937-3641 or email mwadley@childressisd.net anytime.
