Why do I teach?   I teach little ones because I was once told as a child that I could one day be "somebody".  I hope to inspire just that in each and every child that I come into contact with during my lifetime.  Within the classroom,  I love teaching students to read because I know a book can take students anywhere they want to go. With a little bit of imagination and a book, a student can be taken past the moon, to the outer depths of the ocean, to the other side of the world like Australia to meet kangaroos, etc. to learn what he/she doesn't know. Learning to read is essential to a child's success to ensure they will be "somebody" in life. I want to be a part of every child's success.
