How to Be a Resource Specialist

I have been in Special Education since 1980----Yikes! My 18+ years as an elementary resource specialist at a diverse school with a 66% free and reduced lunch rate, have been a highlight in my life! Our school is a gem of a community/family/hub of learning. So, after a little health scare last year, I am back at the job I love, and I realize that I am in the position to impart some of my skills and experience. Thus, this manual is really coming along, and I should have it ready in a couple weeks!

Summer Sentences......

Writing a Memoir: When I was Young in the Mountains by Cynthia Rylant

Another Summer School idea! I used this with my group of English Language Learners! They were all at different language aquisition levels, so we got all kinds of description and "voice" in our writing. I took the kids' photos and displayed them with their poetry memoir....every child has a story!
I just put them on my TPT shop.

Below are samples of my students' memoir poems....names changed....every child has 

a story!
