About Me

Hello! My name is Ashley! I am currently a student at Edison State College seeking a degree in Elementary Education. My passion is to see children "get it". It is the best feeling to see them finally understand something. I love to teach; not only academically but dance as well. My passion has always been dance, I love to integrate the kinesthetic movements into my lessons. I also love to bring lessons into the dance studio. It is very interesting to see how much the two can be intertwined. As a student I always struggled with reading, and I hope that through this class I will learn how to make reading interesting for students like me. I strive to be that teacher that makes a difference! "Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!" - Dr.Suess

Reading Journey

This class has forced me to reach out of my comfort zone in reading. With that I have found a new childrens author who I absolutely adore. Lois Lowry is the author of books such as A Summer to Die, Number in hte Stars, and The Giver.  Her books are very personal and touch on rougher subjects but in a way that is enjoyable. Each of her books has a sensitivity to it while stating harsh facts. She has become on of my new favorite authors and I will definently be using some of her books in my classroom library.
