Introducing myself

I live in Bend with my husband and three kids. Two daughters, aged 11 & 9, a son, 5. I have taught for 7 years in public schools, 1.5 years as a clinical reading specialist using the Lindamood Bell program, and 4 years as a computer teacher (where I am now.) My kids attend the school I teach at which is a wonderful perk and convenience! I am hoping to start back full time next year teaching Language Arts at the middle school level. Hence, this class will help me get geared up.

I see the list of assignments on Dauer's Dialogue and wonder if those are for one week or for the full course time? This is my first experience blogging and am glad to have the incentive to finally get started. I think blogging with students to share reflections on literature is a great way to go. Heard about it being done and wanted to try it. This should give me the training I need to make it happen!

Glad to be a part of this!
