As a child (and an adult) my favorite children's book has always been The Giving Tree. There is just something so tender about Shel Silverstein's writing. iI have enjoyed all of the books that I have read by him.

introduction
Hello! I am Shannon DeWitt. I am in my second semester of the MAT program. Previously, I've earned two degrees at FSU. I have a BA in French (2003) and a BA in English (2011). I attended Marshall U to work on an MA in English, but was only able to complete 20 hours before I found out I was pregnant. It was a high-risk pregnancy and I decided to take a break from my education and move back to Harrison County. I am now the doting mother of a 13-month-old daughter, Raylie, who is my world! I hope to teach English to grades 5-12 in this county or one nearby. I hope we all have an amazing, productive, successful, and rewarding semester! Cheers!

Shannon, your daughter looks so adorable from the picture you have of her on your blog. I'm sure she is much bigger now! I do not have any children of my own, but my nephew sure grew up too fast. I look forward to reading your posts this semester and learning more from you.
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon! My sister-in-law had a high-risk pregnancy too. My beautiful nephew was born 7 weeks early and had to stay in the NICU for weeks. He's now perfectly healthy and growing way too fast! He will be 1 year on March 9th. I know how scary that can be so I'm happy to hear that your beautiful little girl is doing wonderfully. I look forward to working with you this semester! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon! Congratulations on your baby girl! I graduated from Frostburg State in 1998 with a B.S. in Business Administration. As I started to seriously consider parenthood in my early 30s, I realized just how significant childhood education was and decided for a career change. With the exception of my two beautiful children, it was the best decision I ever made!
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon! Your daughter is adorable!!! Children sure do change your world, but they are so worth every sacrifice. While I miss teaching, I wouldn't miss spending time with my girls while they are still little. I do have a hard time with feeling like I don't contribute, so I started making and selling hair bows. Now I have taught myself how to sew and make t-shirts for my girls. Crafting definitely helps me stay sane and unwind after a long day. We do seem to have a bit in common, in fact I almost listed that same book on my blog as I love all his books also. Good luck this semester! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon, your daughter is super cute! I have a niece that will be turning one on my wedding day (she's a drama queen), so I bet you are a busy bee! I also love The Giving Tree. I feel like it's one of those books that you can read at any point in your life and each time you get something different out of it! I look forward to your posts.
