MY CART
As a middle school teacher, I find many of my students in a similar predicament. I see them tucking their amazingness away just to be one of the crowd. When they look on my shelves for books, if they�re not into kissy books or cliquey books, or adventure books or vampire books, they kind of seem to be out of luck. So I decided to put together a book of stories for them. These stories are based on kids with lives that aren�t perfect. These kids may look like you or someone you know. Maybe they just seem like kids you could sit down with and chat about what your obsession.
I tried to make these stories just the right length. Really, if you are forced to read inside or outside of the classroom, you should be able to read one story in one to three sittings, depending on how many distractions you have to deal with.
Some of these stories are based on my experiences, some are based on people I have known and others are based on students I have taught. My hope is that through these stories you can untuck your wonderfulness and enjoy being odd.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching various students, various subjects, at various levels (preschool to college) for the last ten years. During those ten years, I have completed two masters programs, American Studies and Reading Education, and have received the honor of becoming National Board Certified. I am currently certified in Reading K-12, language arts 6-8, social studies 6-8 and even family and consumer studies.I am now delving into the world of elementary school, as I am a literacy facilitator in a title one school. I am working toward to completion of my PhD in Curriculum and Instruction so, I may not always know what I am talking about but I try to find people who do. All the ideas I put on this site are research based and align with the new common core. Any corrections are always appreciated, ideas are solicited, and compliments are greatly rewarded.
