I'm so thrilled at all the possibilities of the year.  I hope you leave my class a better reader, writer, and person than when you first entered. My highest goal for you is to leave as an individual in charge of your own learning. Anyone who knows me at all knows I am obsessed with quotes.  Two of my favorites that pertain to reading are by Ray Bradbury and Mark Twain. 

 

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them"- Twain  

 

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”  - Ray Bradbury

​

Obviously, reading is a passion for me.  I hope to impart this same love to each of you this year.
