I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University. Currently I hold a BS in Elementary Education. Additionally, I am pursuing my MA in Reading Education, also at Appalachian State University.
I am twenty-two years old, and recently engaged. I enjoy anything and everything outdoors. I’ve always gone skiing with my mom every year, since I was little. I like to play soccer and I also kayak and hike when I have the opportunity.
I have four siblings, three brothers and a sister. I am the second youngest child, with the eldest being 31 and the youngest 15.
On this blog I plan to discuss:
- connections between various children’s literature books
- themes of different children’s books
- activities that could be completed using children’s books
- other pedagogical topics related to children’s literature
Through reading this blog, I hope that it encourages deep thought and consideration of the books that are used in the classroom. I hope that maybe you also find a little inspiration for your own (if you have one) !
