I taught 1st/2nd grade at Meadowthorpe
Elementary, 3rd grade at Cox’s Creek Elementary, 4th/5th

Favorite
Children's Book and/or Author:
I love
children’s literature. There are many great books for
children to read, and I have difficulty choosing just one, so I
am choosing my top three children’s authors.
Chris Van Allsburg , the author of great books like the
Polar Express, The Widow’s Broom, Two Bad Ants, The Stranger,
and Jumanji. I like his books because he combines
mystery with fantasy and brings the reader into his stories.
Another favorite author is Patricia Polacco. She writes
a lot about her personal life when she was growing up. We all
have stories to tell and she does a great job explaining her
childhood in books like: My Rotten Red-Headed Older Brother,
My Ol’ Man, and Thank You, Mr. Falker.
Richard Peck is a young author’s writer. I
like him because his books are very entertaining and make you
laugh as you read. Two of his must read books are: A
Long Way from Chicago and the sequel, A Year Down Yonder. |

Educational
Interests:
My interest in education is to instill life-long learning into
every child. I am currently working on research in school
readiness and the importance of parental involvement.
Every child and family is unique and special and brings with
them many experiences that are sometimes overlooked by schools.
I hope to bridge those gaps between schools and families and to
make school a great place to be. |

Hobbies: I
have a large family, so it is difficult to have a specific
hobby, but I enjoy reading, gardening, and decorating. At
home, I spend time outside planting trees and shrubs or sitting
on my back porch reading a book. I like going to the
library and visiting Joseph-Beth Bookstore.
