I love camping, hiking, reading (check out my book blog), and spending time with my family. I am married and have two children; my daughter, Brennan, is fourteen and my son, Hillel, is three. Our family has two cuddly kitties, Chester and Mol. We also have two dogs – Bailey, a German Shepherd/Alaskan Malamute mix and Shelby, a German Shepherd/Greyhound mix. Once each year my family (including the dogs) spends a week or two at my husband's family's cabin at Lake of the Woods in Ontario, Canada. The cabin is on an island and has no electricity or running water! While we are there we fish for our food, swim off of the dock, canoe, water ski, read and play games together. That is one of my favorite times of the year.
My other two favorite times of the year are the beginning and the end of the school year. I love the beginning of the school year because I get to know so many new students. It is so much fun for me to see where they are as readers and work to help them showcase their strengths and achieve their goals. I love the end of the school year because I have the opportunity to reflect on the entire learning time I had with my students, to see exactly where they began and celebrate all of their accomplishments.
