Hello, my name is Angelica DeCicco and I am a senior at Rider University. With a double major in elementary education and Spanish, I have an everlasting thirst for knowledge and a passion for teaching. Currently I am an after school teacher who tutors and cares for a group of 15 students, and I am soon to be a student teacher.
 * About Me**

As a teacher of elementary grade literacy, **I value independent reading time**. In many elementary school classrooms, students do not get enough time to explore literature, find what type of books captivate them, and actually read for enjoyment. My classroom is filled with a variety of level appropriate literature. I am able to expose these texts to my students during read alouds, book talks, and by having students suggest books to one another. Although my students complained at first, my enthusiasm for reading, involvement of students while choosing books to incorporate into our classroom, and access to many different types of literature has made a world of difference. Here's a snapshot of what our growing library will one day look like!
