My luminous life by https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4 Made with big dreams en-us 2017-08-29 04:49:15 UTC 2025-09-24 15:44:35 UTC hello@padlet.com I'm a teacher! JennLibrarian https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183313774 I decided in 4th grade that I'd be a teacher when I grew up and I was determined never to let any of my students feel invisible. I started teaching in 1984, in south Oak Cliff in Dallas, followed by the Dept. of Defense schools in Germany and Korea, and finally in Austin. After this many years in the classroom, I've wised up and now I plan to be a school LIBRARIAN! Currently I teach Kindergarten in northeast Austin.]]> 2017-08-29 06:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183313774 JennLibrarian https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183314740 2017-08-29 06:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183314740 Reading Lovers in my family JennLibrarian https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183314869 That's me, front and center, taking charge of the floor!]]> 2017-08-29 06:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183314869 I grew up in the northeast (mostly NJ and MA) JennLibrarian https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183315090 But my family moved to Texas when I was in high school. My parents currently live in their 30th home--so that tells you we moved a lot. I'm so blessed to still have them in their late 80s, living about 15 minutes from me in Austin.]]> 2017-08-29 06:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183315090 I attended college JennLibrarian https://padlet.com/JennLibrarian/7r0q74nf1nx4/wish/183594891 I began at Stephens College in Columbia, MO, studying Early Childhood Education.
