Hello Brevard Family! It is an honor to be the Media Coordinator (Librarian) at BES! I look forward to inspiring a love for reading, teaching about various types of media and support students with critical thinking and collaboration skills!
This is my 11th year teaching and 9 of those years have been here at BES. I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade and was previously the Reading Specialist.
I am married to someone you may know (Mr. Osteen) and I have a little boy, Ezra. We have a Golden Retriever, Bella! I enjoy reading books, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. I am a huge literacy advocate and think that daily reading is a simple, yet meaningful routine to promote a love of reading!
Book Requests help me to better serve the school community. Please don't hesitate sharing a title so that I can curate a collection that is both fun and educational!
Each month there will be a "Reading Challenge". These challenges are meant to do accomplish a few things.
1) Promote reading at home.
2) Promote reading stamina.
3) Offer a time for families to bond over reading good books.
4) Get kids excited about reading!
Each month the challenge will be different. Are you up for it? Once you complete a challenge, bring it to me in the library during your connect or first thing in the morning to redeem your prize and put your ticket in the drawing for an even bigger prize (The prize drawing will occur in May).
