My Classroom Mission
     To engage students in reading strategies that will improve their love of reading and become successful life long learners.
    
About Me
       I grew up on Eastern Long Island, New York  and have resided in Southern Florida as well as Mooresville, NC. My career has led me to have various opportunities in all three states. 
      My love for reading and writing  has always motivated me to encourage and promote literacy  to children of all ages. I am a voracious reader and have been know to read  a novel a week. Each summer I spend time reading the latest novels  available for my students as well as student recommendations .
        My hobbies include cooking, reading and  gardening. I have two grown sons and one  daughter. This year my middle son will be getting married in March. My favorite pastime is sitting on my front porch in the evening with my husband Jack and our dog Ginger  simply enjoying the North  Carolina seasons!
