I have been in education for 31 years and have spent all that time in an elementary Media Center. I have seen a lot of changes over those years but I still love what I do! My goal has always been to make the library a relevant place for them by encouraging them to love reading, and to be independent and critical users of information. I have recently ventured into the area of MakerSpaces in the Media Center. I am excited to develop this new area of learning for and with my students.
Hands on and activity based when ever possible. I love the concept of Interactive Notebooking and have been working to develop this in the past year.
