Welcome!

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. ~Henry Brooks Adams

Aspiring to have a positive and long lasting influence over children is the most rewarding goal to have and obtain. It has been my dream to be an influential educator since I was in elementary school and Michigan State University is helping me reach this goal. After being accepted into the College of Education last spring, I know I am well on my way.

I am very interested in the teaching of literacy and diverse literature, noting how important is it for children to have a concrete base knowledge of literacy from an early age. I look forward to furthering my knowledge in this field as I take both TE 448 and TE301 this fall.

On the side of my blog I will set up a place for viewers to post their favorite children's book/books. I would love to get a working book list now, so when I finally have my own classroom, I will have a hefty library. So, please feel free to post away!!
