Profile Information
- How would you describe your work?
- I'm a 4th grade teacher who totally believes in the Reading/Writing workshop approach when teaching literacy. Students benefit so much from understanding how reading and writing are so logically connected. I tell my students upon entering my class that this year they are going to "read like a writer and write like a reader." To help them to make this important connection I teach using actual literature (I have over 3000 books in my class library) and teach writing using this literature as a model and their writing to apply what we are focusing on in the craft of writing. I am very passionate about what I do! My family would say I am obsessed with what I do.
