Minnesota Kindergarten Association 2017

Thanks so much for having me come share poetry and especially STEM poetry with you at your annual conference! I love to share ways to use poetry in the kindergarten classroom. Here are some of the resources and books I talked about, and I hope you’ll find them useful.

JANUARY NEWS

I loved the holidays! And I'm so glad they're over. A quiet, snowy January is just what I need. This month, I'm working on two board book manuscripts, and I'm making materials to go with my 3 spring 2023 books.

I'm also busy prepping for upcoming author visits and setting my goals and priorities for 2023. Wishing you a lovely start to your own new year!
