The overarching goal of this class is to get learners excited about expressing their ideas and using their emerging literacy skills in new and creative ways, so they can grow into more confident readers and writers over time. 

I have a Master's degree in early childhood and inclusive education with an emphasis on literacy. I have been an educator for 20 years and am passionate about teaching literacy skills that support a lifelong love of reading and writing. I see all children as capable individuals who are motivated to learn when their interests are honored and they are encouraged to make their own discoveries.  I strive to provide an inclusive learning environment and welcome all learners!
