This is my 6th year teaching this class at Biddeford Middle School. I first
got a college degree in Communications (which means Newspaper Writing and
Radio). Then I decided I did not want to do any of that for a job! So, I
went back to college again! This time, I chose something I really love:
teaching.
I recently finished my Master's Degree (I went back to college a third time!)
in Literacy Education (a fancy way of saying I know more about teaching
reading now).
I have lived in Maine for about 9 years now, but I grew up in southern New
Jersey. I also lived in Boston for 2 years.
My favorite band: Green Day
My favorite food: Anything Mexican.
My favorite book: Tough one. I like long Russian novels, but my favorite
young adult book right now is Hunger Games.
My favorite movie: Another tough one. I like all kinds, gritty dramas to the
stupidest comedies.
Favorite TV Show: House (drama), but my guilty pleasure is Biggest Loser (I
love success stories where people overcome their weaknesses!)
My mission is to make reading an enjoyable experience for students. I want
students to realize that reading doesn't have to be hard work. It just takes
matching the right student with the right book. I am focused on you and what
you want to accomplish. It's not about me or what I want you to read. I will
try to make it as enjoyable as possible, but you do need to be learning, so it
can't be a party every day, but I will do my best to make it the best
experience for you. The ultimate goal is for your reading skills to improve
and I believe that a big part of that is making sure you are enjoying the
reading as much as you can.
