She wasn't the type of mom to buy me whatever I wanted, but if it was for a book, she always said YES. Now, I do the same for my kids. I have a rule as a mom I try my very best to stick by. If my daughter asks me to read to her, no matter how exhausted or busy I am I always say YES. ]]> 2022-09-01 18:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279691971 acloranca https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279692327 My favorite place to read is cuddled up next to a rainy window with a hot cup of coffee. My life is pretty chaotic on the norm, so my reading days are usually very early on Saturday mornings when my children are sleeping. ]]> 2022-09-01 18:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279692327 acloranca https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279692634 This is Mrs. Canales, my first grade teacher. My mother swears that the reason I loved reading so much was because of her. I was a student in her first ever class, and the COOLEST part of my career in education has been being able to work alongside her, when I first started my teaching career. She was always so encouraging and made sure I always found books that were of interest to me. She ignited the fire of loving to read. ]]> 2022-09-01 18:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279692634 acloranca https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279692787 In middle school, my love for reading continued to grow. I hated being forced to read Animal Farm and other classics (though now as an adult I am grateful I did). My school loved to have us do novel studies on Shakespeare and we even performed the plays (Lady Capulet here..)! But when given the opportunity, I loved books like Speak and read every single Baby Sitter's Club book ever made! ]]> 2022-09-01 18:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279692787 acloranca https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279693028 In high school, the only books I can even remember reading was Waiting for Godot and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I remember being annoyed that we didn't go to library and we never had a chance to read for pleasure. However, even if I did have a chance, I was bombarded with so much homework reading wouldn't have even been my choice of hobby or pass time. ]]> 2022-09-01 18:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279693028 acloranca https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279693640 I've been an elementary reading teacher for the past 8 years! Reading is my passion and has always been in my heart! I love finding fun and exciting ways to captivate my students' interest in literature. Even it means having tinted skin for a few days, when the paint won't fully wash off ! ]]> 2022-09-01 18:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279693640 acloranca https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279693801 So far I LOVE this new role as a middle school librarian. My goal these beginning weeks of school have been to get to know the students interests, needs, preferences! I have so much enthusiasm from them that it honestly has reignited my passion for working in this field of education! ]]> 2022-09-01 18:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/acloranca/o10objj8z903dsxk/wish/2279693801
