My favorite story growing up was "A Picture For Harold's Room." I loved reading as a child and still love to read. I am a 3rd grade teacher and I love going to school every day to help my students learn to love reading as well. The school district where I teach is in a small rural community in northeast Iowa. I grew up in a small town and love teaching in the same kind of school that I went to as a child.
