Raise your hand if you love books!

I do! I have always loved reading. I went to college thinking that I would be a reading teacher, however life had other plans and I taught social studies for six years and science for one.

Finally, after seven years, a sixth grade reading teacher position became available and I jumped on it. I am on year two of teaching reading and I absolutely love it. I love being able to justify having a reading day in class. I love being able to talk books with students. I love being able to read middle grade novels and say that it's for my job. This is just incredible.

This blog is going to be my way of reaching out to people and letting people know what I'm doing in my literacy life. I will be sharing plans that go over well in my classroom, books that I'm currently reading, books that I want to read, and articles about literacy that I find interesting. I hope you enjoy the ride!
