Hi! My name is Meredith Grotti.
I am the i3 for the Daugherty Elementary Campus. Daugherty is a K-5 elementary school located in the Garland ISD.
This is my twenty-sixth year teaching K-5 music in the Garland Independent School District. My X (formerly Twitter) handle is @dghtymusicrocks. I have represented my classroom and advocated for arts education on X for seven years.
Directly below are the Monthly Skills Focus links. Please check here each month as we focus on a new skill. Click on the page "Catching YOU at your Techy Best" to see your posts representing our school's digital moments on X. If you want to look at any presentations, blog posts or PD I have created, choose the Certifications/ Tech Resume page and click on the subpage Presentations or Prior Years' PD Presentations.
