Before class, students will read one book per week from the Desmond Cole: Ghost Patrol series, written by Andres Miedoso. **Please note, in order to meet copyright law, students must have their own copy of the book to participate in this class.** We will not be reading books during class. Students will read a Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol book each week before class. Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol books are excellent books for the student beginning to read chapter books! They have lots of fantastic pictures to help the student stay engaged in the story throughout the chapters! We will spend the class discussing the book. We will also discuss certain vocabulary words from the book. Students will have fun answering trivia questions from a PowerPoint presentation. They can also use this time to color their Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol coloring sheets and bookmarks (this could be done prior to the class also). We will spend a few minutes at the end of the class showing off our coloring sheets!

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Laurie Evans. I am married to my elementary school crush, Lee. I have two children - my daughter, Meagan, is married and I have two granddogs, Minnie and Chewie. My son is a junior at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. My husband and I are alumni of UAB and are huge Blazer fans!
I have an early childhood degree and have taught Kindergarten for many years. Ten years ago I went back to school at Florida State University and received my Library Media degree and finally got my dream job. I have been a librarian for eight years at a school that averages about 1,000 students in PreK-6th grade. My passion is getting the right book in a kid's hands and hearing how much they love it after being read. I truly believe that if you don't like to read then you just haven't found the right book.
The classes that I plan on teaching will always revolve around a book. I plan on offering classes that involve reading strategies, story elements, book talks and book studies, and coloring sheets and coloring bookmarks that go along with a book.Reviews
