I am a Certified Teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I currently teach ESL and Language Arts/Reading online and have been working with children for the last 3.5 years to develop their English and Reading skills. This is where I took multiple trainings and coursework, in which I learned to expand young children’s language and reading development. I have been teaching different subjects for 9 years, all while linking language and reading to critical subjects like science and social studies. I have a bachelor's degree in Social Sciences-Education from The Pennsylvania State University.

Hatchet is a 1986 Newbery Honor-winning novel. The Newbery Medal honors the finest contributions to American literature for children, and the children’s librarians of the American Library Association choose each year’s winner. In this novel students will read about survival, isolation, and coming of age. This story does touch on topics of death, a suicide attempt, and mentions of divorce. As a certified Social Studies/History teacher in the state of Pennsylvania, I have experience approaching these topics with compassion and sensitivity.
