My classroom theme is Opportunity Airlines. Students will travel the world and experience countries, cultures and lives unlike their own-- one page at a time. I want them to experience what it is to immerse oneself in a different time and place and peek into the lives of characters and witness their successes and failures, hopes and dreams--allowing these characters to inspire them to chase theirs, to never let fear stop them from pursuing everything their heart desires. This is how I fell in love with reading. And when I could communicate my thoughts and feelings better than my peers and when I could empathize with strangers in a way that brought people together and when I realized doors opened for me because I had both knowledge and wisdom -- that's when I realized the true power of reading- that it really was my ticket to anywhere. This is my hope for my students.
