About Me...

I love reading! Books are our portal to new worlds; they are our passports to other countries. It is my goal to inspire a love of reading in my students.

"Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him."
--Maya Angelou

"A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read."
--Mark Twain




"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was." 
--Ernest Hemingway

"In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends imprisoned by an enchanter in paper and leathern boxes.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

 "The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." --Dr. Seuss
