WELCOME!

I’m a teacher, speaker, and author. I love stories, whether I’m reading, writing, or telling them. For kids visiting my site, I hope you will find something new to read or write about. For teachers and parents, I hope you will find something that inspires and extends learning opportunities.
The best thing about teaching was that lightbulb moment, when my kids learned or did something new. Now I teach through school visits. I show how editing is helping me become a children’s author. I work with students to write a simple piece, moving it from beginning/problem to ending/solution. Then we improve that piece by rereading and editing. My goal is for kids to recognize that editing equals better performance, in whatever you do. I hope I have something for everyone…kids, parents, and teachers. Please check out my favorite Beach Reads, or find a new writing challenge on my Blog. Thanks for stopping by! Please visit again! |
