About the store
I'm a children's book author and teacher. My current books include the HIDE AND GEEK series (Random House Children's Books), and as a teacher, I've taught everything from 1st-grade remedial readers through graduate-level education courses. However, my true teaching love is the middle grades. Plus, my sense of humor never really advanced beyond that of a 10- or 11-year-old boy. I guess that explains why my books AND my readers' theater scripts are primarily tailored for grades 3-6.

Experience

I'm a children's book author and teacher. My current books include the HIDE AND GEEK series (Random House Children's Books), and as a teacher, I've taught everything from 1st-grade remedial readers through graduate-level education courses. However, my true teaching love is the middle grades. Plus, my sense of humor never really advanced beyond that of a 10- or 11-year-old boy. I guess that explains why my books AND my readers' theater scripts are primarily tailored for grades 3-6.

Teaching style

I believe it's a good thing for learning to be difficult (i.e., challenging). But it should also be fun. That's why my teaching style relies on plenty of hands-on activities mixed with humor, seeking to push students while simultaneously helping them find pleasure in that challenge.
