About me I am presently teaching Senior English and Intensive Reading at a technology magnet high school in Broward County, Florida. I teach a regular and Honors program within the same classes. I have been teaching most of my career in South Florida. I have three adult children,one of whom was recently married and I have been reading books for children for many years now. My favorite YA authors presently are Avi "The Car" and Cynthia Voight-"The Homecoming" and "Dicey's Song". I especially like their books as they require their characters to attain or display heroism and independence. The literature class I had previously taken in a Master's degree in Reading was referred to as Children's Literature. Up until about eight years ago, I was teaching middle school and loved to interact with my students about their reading. My high school students read a variety from Artemis Fowl, to Harry Potter to New York times Best Sellers to Graphic novels. I have presently organized a trip for all of the students at my school to visit the library and use the computer labs at Nova Southeastern University. This library is a shared facility with the residents of Broward County as 40% of the funding is from the county. The tours will take place in September and October. I belong to a Book club in Broward county called Sankofu. I am enjoying the books written by African American Women authors.

About my library The first two years starting 2007 most of my entries will be to meet requirements that I will be reading for my new LIS degree at FSU. I have had to put my recreational reading on hold for a time here. I do hope to continue to add personal choice though.
