Teaching style
My teaching style, whether I am in the classroom, or creating children’s books is to empower and excite children of all ages and stages to become lifelong learners and to ignite a spark of curiosity, wonder, and compassion for the world and those around them.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Although my books and teaching have won various grants awards, I am most touched by the small moments…
When a struggling student perseveres and has a light bulb moment. Is there anything better than that smile?
When a former student contacts me years later to tell me how I inspired them and how they have made choices in their lives because of their time with me.
When a parent wrties to me and tells me that their child won’t go to bed without reading a book of mine…. Every night for years!
When my first book, “Journey Around Cape Cod and the Islands from A to Z” was published, my students gave me a round of applause. It was the best praise I have ever received!
When a teacher makes a class book with student work inspired by one of my books.
When I am at an author event, and a Dad comes up and recites one of my books becuase he has read it to his child 5,000 times!
My own education history
• Bachelor's Degree from Connecticut College with a major in studio art and a minor in psychology.
• Masters in Teaching from Lesley University with certification in Elementary and Special Education.
• Illustration, Design, and Pottery classes at the Rhode Island School of Design... just for fun!
Additional biographical information
I live on Cape Cod, MA with my husband, two daughters (when they aren’t at school or traveling the world), and my oldest daughter’s two cats.
I have an identical twin sister.
I named my shop, “Class Pet” and featured a cat in the logo because I think that a cat would make the perfect class pet. One even wandered into my class one morning! It was nice while it lasted (:
