Literacy Coach

I personally think I have been preparing for this job since I was 7 or 8. I can't remember a time when books were not a major part of my life. Books have taken me away to far places, they have made me laugh, and made me cry. I have gotten so hooked into a series that when it ended, I felt like I had lost a friend. 

Books are my passion and I am thrilled I have the opportunity to share my passion with the teachers and students at Cooley Springs Fingerville. During the first two weeks of school I went into classrooms to introduce myself and share a story with them. In a first grade classroom I read the story, "The Invisible Boy". Just last week one of those first graders came up to me at breakfast and said, "Hey I still remember that book you read to us about the Invisible Boy!" That made my day! There is so much to learn as we study the illustrations and the meanings behind them or within the words themselves for the author's message. This year I hope to share my passion on a daily basis and help students and teachers at Cooley Springs Fingerville discover......the more you know, the more you grow!
