Because Of Franki

  • I FINISHED writing a book (whew, good thing she can cheer).
  • I have this blog.
  • My classroom space has been thoughtfully arranged. 
  • I'm digital.
  • My students have digital opportunities.

Franki moved me from a love of literacy into advocating for literacy. From silence to action.

Franki brings our community together with her big questions, new thinking, and friendship.
.

… and she does it without even knowing. Thanks for being you, Franki.
Happy Birthday!
