Hello! I'm so excited to be attending and presenting at the State of Maryland Reading Conference! As many of you know, I taught in Prince George's County for a couple of years. Many of my dear friends still live here--I'm hoping to run into some of you today!
Maryland holds a very dear spot in my heart. I loved working and living here. It is such a vibrant place. There are so many top-notch professional development opportunities year-round. I always felt like I was right in the middle of all the cutting-edge happenings! I remember my good friend Barb Gallagher and I hopped the train one Friday after school to attend a Teachers College Reading/Writing Project Saturday workshop. Wow...I sure miss those days!
Below are the handouts for my sessions today. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks for inviting me once again to share in a tremendous day of learning with you all! I LOVE being a part of it!
Happy reading/writing/thinking!
