Meet the Blogger
Hi, I am Corey Green, a National Board Certified Teacher with a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education. I write middle-grade books (grades 4-6, ages 9-12) that are filled with mischief and laughter. I am a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and the International Reading Association.
I have taught grades 3-6 and I have worked with students in grades K-12. My students have had a range of special needs: ELL, ESL, Special Education, and Gifted. I really love teaching third grade English Language Learners. It’s very special to me, because I know what it’s like to struggle to learn a new language and a new lifestyle: my dad took my family along for his two-year Air Force posting in Italy when I was in sixth grade. I love teaching my students to write and ALL of my students learn their multiplication facts!
This blog presents views from inside my various classrooms. I hope we can share ideas and tips to help kids learn and thrive in the few years that they spend in elementary classrooms. It’s obvious that I have a special place in my heart for first-year teachers and specials teachers. When I recommend or review books or other products, I may provide an Amazon.com link for the purchase of those items for two reasons. One, it’s a simple convenience for a blog reader who might consider buying that item. Two, as do most teachers, I have spent a lot of money in my classrooms for things that school budgets simply don’t cover. I might earn a small advertising fee for products that are sold via these links, but you will not pay more at Amazon.com for anything you order after following a link I provide. Now that I have published many children’s novels and award-winning educational products, Amazon.com has become my main distributor. My blog now features Amazon.com ads. I earn a modest advertising revenue through these ads thanks to the volume of readership that you have helped me build for this blog.
This blog links to my other websites which market the books that I write. I started developing the characters, the settings and the stories while I was an undergraduate. Now, the kids in my books are so real to me and to my family, we have discussions at the dinner table about their antics! I hope you will want to read my books some day.
Sincerely,
Corey Green
