About the store
For four years, I worked as a project based and experiential learning guide with the Challenger Learning Center of Northern Nevada. This experience showed me the importance of real-life, imaginative, interactive, and creative methods of learning! From there, I received my Bachelors of Arts in English Literature, with a minor in United States History. I completed my college experience with a Master's of Education degree in Elementary Education. My thesis revolved around the progression of imagination within the learning experience of K-8 students.

No Ending Writing
This activity is one of many imaginative strategies detailed in my "Handbook of Imagination." No ending writing is based in literacy research (cited on the infographic) that engages students' prediction and genre knowledge.
