In September, Carol Perks will be teaching second grade in Opa Locka, Florida. She is also certified to teach Gifted and ESOL. She was a Reading Coach and a Math Coach before returning to the classroom, her first love. Her passion for books ignites at the sight of a bookstore. Carol wanders through the stacks breathing in the aroma of books (and coffee!), stimulated by so many things to learn, to research, to escape into, so many other worlds and adventures. She was obsessed with the Twilight books and movies, as well as The Hunger Games. At this moment, she and her students are laughing their way through all the Louis Sachar books.
