Today, I took a professional development Writer's Workshop with Jen Jones owner of "Hello Literacy." I am always searching for ways to improve my instruction as a tutor/educational coach. The day was action-packed, extremely informative and I was able to add more approaches and techniques to my teaching toolkit. Thank you to Jen Jones for her masterful way of making the material relatable and exciting! I can't wait to tutor tomorrow to implement some new approaches to teaching students to find their voices as writers. We never stop learning no matter how many years we have been doing something. There's always room for improvement. To those of you who are teachers and follow IIIE, check out Jen Jones on Instagram or Facebook. She's an incredible resource and has a wealth of knowledge and experience plus she's a dynamic presenter!

Loose dog running in Greene Mill Preserve off Evergreen Mill Rd. This is close to Brambleton. I tried to approach it but it ran through the houses and into the common area called Village Greene. Last seen on Dinah Place. It did not respond to being called or to my whistling. It was a herding breed with long black hair and a beautiful white, brown and black face. About 40-50 lb midsize dog, resembles a collie .

Looked like this dog.

[12/18/20]   Recently, I posted a picture of one of my very precious classes from King-Murphy Elementary in Colorado. The four years that I taught at this school were priceless and memorable. I was in my early twenties and brand new. These students taught me and helped me in ways they will never know. The families were supportive and kind. They are some of the best years of my career. Students from those classes have contacted me. I am honored to share this comment made by one of those young people.
