where have i been spending my time lately?

With an incredible Reading Specialist and maker of the beautiful items above.

Currently I am working on a Master's Degree in Education with a Reading Specialist Endorsement. A requirement of the program is to complete 90 hours of practicum work with a Reading Specialist. Luckily I was able to choose my own Reading Specialist and have been in her classroom observing and learning for the past few weeks. She is a fantastic teacher and mentor. I am amazed at what I am learning from her. So amazed, in fact, that when I found out yesterday that I am NOT required to do the practicum because I started the program prior to the requirement going into effect, I am choosing to continue to work with her.

Aside from being an incredible Reading Specialist, Keri also creates beautiful jewelry. Check out her Etsy shop here and see for yourself.
