Magicalteacher
4th Grade teacher who knows that teaching is one of the highest callings. Everyday is magical for me. My Ankle Biters are amazing and they provide the magic to my days. Then, there is my family!! My husband of 29 years was a school administrator for 20 years so he is the one who listens and offers INCREDIBLE advice! My daughters are 24 and 22!! They are amazing! I give them full rights to govern my clothing! I am not permitted to wear the "usual" teacher clothes!!

A Childhood Book
When you read a book as a child, it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does. ~~Kathleen Kelly (You've Got Mail)
I have seen my own daughters read 100's of books....yet, they always refer to the ones from their childhood as being the ones they LOVE!! As educators, we have to continually introduce children to books so that they constantly have the reminder of where books can take them.
