As parents, we want our children to be readers. After all, a person who reads lives many lives in the time others live only one. It broadens their horizons, gives them new ideas to explore, and opens their imagination to anything and everything that could be possible. Getting your child involved in a series of books is the holy grail of reading - there is always another book to read, always more story to tell! It's the best thing there ever could be. Until. Oh, until. Until the day they're caught up. And then... they want to talk about the series that has so captured their imagination. It's wonderful! Right up until it's not. Especially now, with more children home, and fewer out-of-home camp activities... Suddenly it's overwhelming. What's a parent to do?!? You can't quash that love of reading! That would be terrible! But... Do you have time to sit and read a dozen or so books to keep up with all the terms being thrown at you? That's where I want to help. I want to talk to your kids - specifically about Percy Jackson and the Olympians! The movies? Awesome! The books? Even better! The similarities and differences between the two? I'm on it! Take a breather, parents. I would love if your kids would Talk to Me About Percy Jackson!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Care, and I am a teacher by trade. I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent children - specifically those with ADHD, Anxiety, ASD, and gifted diagnoses. I love reading, knitting, Final Fantasy XIV, and Bluey!
I have a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education earned from Northern Illinois University. My teaching certificate is now out of date, as I have relocated to Canada. I have a wonderful spouse, and we have a thirteen year old child. Our household is body-positive, rainbow-themed, and neurodiverse. I enjoy spending time with kids, and talking with them to discover new ideas together.
In my classroom, learners and their families have the right to:
- Be treated with dignity and respect regardless of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, neurology, marital status, or sexual orientation
- A safe and healthy environment
- Be treated as your learner’s most important people
- Receive timely communication about the learner’s temperament, behavior, compliments and concerns
I am not perfect, but I do my best to try to help everyone feel included and accepted for who they are at all times!Reviews
