I'm a teacher, writer, musician, father of three creative young men, and husband to a librarian. Cool, right? My teaching 'home' has long been the National Writing Project.
I blog (we still do that, right?) at https://dogtraxwrites.com/
Pinned
Now that I have settled in a bit, and found the #EduSky hashtag (yeah!), I suppose I should introduce myself. I teach sixth grade in Western Massachusetts and have been long connected with the National Writing Project. I love writing & music, hiking & kayaking, and exploring tech. Happy to connect.

Here is a new song that I wrote and recorded that is dedicated to the women in life who are strong, independent and speaking out.
It's called Dangerous Girl.
I even added a little saxophone solo into the mix.
