All About Me

I am 21 years old. I am currently a junior at FGCU. I am an elementary education major and hope to be a fourth grade teacher in the near future!

Twenty Minutes a Day

Twenty Minutes a Day

Read to your children

Twenty minutes a day.

You have time

And so do they.

Read while the laundry is in the machine.

Or read while the dinner cooks;

Tuck a child in the crook of your arm

And reach for the library books.

Hide the remote,

Let the computer games cool,

For one day, your children will be off to school!

“Remedial?” “Gifted?” You have the choice;

Let them hear their first tales

In the sound of your voice.

Read in the morning;

Read over noon;

Read by the light of

Goodnight Moon

Turn the pages together,

Sitting close as you’ll fit.

Till a small voice beside you says,

“Hey, don’t quit!”

I Can Read With My Eyes Shut - Dr. Seuss

I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!


I can read in red. I can read in blue.
I can read in pickle color too.
I can read in bed, and in purple. and in brown.
I can read in a circle and upside down!
I can read with my left eye. I can read with my right.
I can read Mississippi with my eyes shut tight!

There are so many things you can learn about.
But…you'll miss the best things
If you keep your eyes shut.
The more that you read, the more things you will know
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

If you read with your eyes shut you're likely to find
That the place where you're going is far, far behind
SO…that's why I tell you to keep your eyes wide.
Keep them wide open…at least on one side.
