Introduction

Hello! Welcome to my bookworm’s blog for a Young Adult and Children’s Literature class through University of the Cumberlands. My name is Sherrie Norris, and I teach Language Arts to sixth graders at East Hardin Middle in Glendale, Kentucky. 

I will begin my fifth year of teaching in August with four classes of Language Arts,  one Reading, and one Reading Enhancement. (A bookworm’s dream come true!) I have a BA in American Studies and History through Georgetown College, and a post-BAC in Middle Grades Education through Western Kentucky University.  At UC, I am working on my Masters as a Reading and Writing Specialist; I have completed two classes and will be working on two classes for this summer session. (Yes, I am busy this summer!) 

In my few treasured moments of free time, I enjoy reading and watching movies, cheering on my two teenage daughters as they play soccer or music, chasing my Jack Russell terrier, and tracking down “out of the way” restaurants with my husband.   Fellow bookworm, please visit my small corner of the world often!
