marshafowler re: Puppy Palooza How Rocket Learned to Read Book Study Unit
I'm curious to know if you think this would be too hard for kindergarten?
April 25, 2013
Swersty (TpT Seller)
I did this with first graders but it could easily be adapted for kindergarten, too. I think they would have a lot of fun with it!
April 26, 2013
Meagan O'Brian (TpT Seller) re: Surfer-Themed Student Desk Tags
Would you be willing to send me your editable document? We use d'nealian and I love your name tags!
August 9, 2012
Swersty (TpT Seller)
Glad you like the name tags! However, I do not have an editable version available.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I just completed my thirteenth year as an elementary librarian at a Texas school that has PK-5th grades. Before becoming a media specialist, I was a first grade teacher for 10 years.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I love to use creative storytelling and fun props to get kids interested in reading. I like to involve my school's classroom teachers in dramatic storytelling elements by having them dress up or act out the books we read and study in the library!
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
2004 Campus Teacher of the Year
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I received a B.S. in Elementary Education from Southwest Texas State University in 1990 and earned my School Library Certification from the University of North Texas in 2002.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Working in the library is so rewarding because I get to be surrounded by great books and enthusiastic readers all day long!
