About Joanne
My passion is to teach students. I teach students of all ages. It warms my heart to see a student grow emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. Teaching, also, gives me an idea of what people enjoy reading. I am an avid reader. While teaching, I promote books I have read to my students.Another passion is to write books. I enjoy using characters that my students can relate too.

I would love to be your friend Joanne. I too was a teacher/principal and loved to be involved in the evolution of reading with students. Kids are great and so are great books to read to them!

I was a teacher too but have now retired, although I do still run classes in Social History for adults. I also like to write stories with characters children can relate to. - Anne
