The full measure of a man 

is not to be found 

in the man himself, 

but in the colors and textures 

that come alive in others 

because of his touch.

by Albert Schweitzer

     Welcome to my world - the world of reading and children. There is no greater joy in life than a quiet afternoon, a front porch swing, and a good book. I cannot imagine not loving to read. It is my goal to "touch" my students with that love for children and reading. In doing this I hope to leave with my student "colors and textures" that will last a lifetime.
