I have loved to read since I could put two sentences together and was absorbed into the worlds my books opened up to me.  I spend many summer days and winter nights and all those in between lost in the pages of a book.  My goal is to encourage a child to find a book, a series, a genre that they love and let them fall in love!

 

Writing was more challenging when I was a child.  I learned to find my way by writing about what I loved.  I had an English teacher that let me choose what I could write about and where I wanted to write it.  I would sit on a bean bag in her room with a clipboard and a clean piece of paper and create my masterpiece.  It was liberating to write for fun.  My classroom is set up exactly the same!  

 

 

We will have a great year filled with many great books, learning experiences and new friendships formed.
