Description

													Hello Students! My name is Christina and I have happily been teaching with SOAR KIDZ for 1 year! I have enjoyed each and every class! Outside of Book Club, I am an elementary school gifted teacher. I have been teaching for 19 years. I love interacting with the students through literature. It connects us to the story and each other. Book Club also allows us to share our unique life experiences with books as a combined experience. I love to laugh with the students in Book Club, as well as share our lives outside of class. I live on a small farm and share the antics of my many animals with the kids. If I could recommend one book, it would be The Tale of Despereaux. It is a magical story that empowers us to great things even if you are just as small as a mouse.
