About Me

My photo
I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans (Geaux Wolfpack!) with a B.A. in Psychology. I recently completed two years as an AmeriCorps member during which I found a home at the Washington Middle School for Girls. Prior to WMSG, I worked as an adult education instructor for the Corrections Organized for Re-entry program (CORe). My mission at WMSG is to empower the students and stregnthen their voice. I hope to inspire a love of learning and a love of self.

Love & Friendship (Extra Credit)



Today we enter into Theme 5, Love & Friendship. During this theme, we will read The Circuit: Stories from the Life of a Migrant Child. This book is an autobiographical novel by Francisco JimĂ©nez based in part on his journey from Mexico to the United States of America. The book, narrated by the child's point of view, follows the life of young Panchito and his family as they move from one location to another to harvest crops in the United States. The book has two sequels, Breaking Through and the third book in the collection, Reaching Out. The author translated the novel into Spanish under the title Cajas de Carton which was published by Houghton Mifflin.(Souce, Wikipedia
