young people. Really, I never finished growing up myself, and that’s just the way I like it. Currently, I am a Teacher/Librarian for third-sixth graders, and I love it! I read and write Middle Grade books, I talk about Middle Grade books, sometimes I even dream about Middle Grade books. When I’m not doing those things, I like to hike, bake everything sweet and tasty, and take care of our little flock of chickens. I also like to teach writing and idea-generation to kids and adults. Click the link below to find some inspiring ideas to use at home, in the classroom, or for a writing group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe85754fdf0060cfd542/1615998335877-796L7I2LLLF248SQC6Z7/bleeding+hearts.jpg About https://www.jennybanker.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-02-23 https://www.jennybanker.com/home daily 1.0 2023-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe85754fdf0060cfd542/1615946181011-APVNUYM87S95SEEE2SWO/me+close-up.jpg Home https://www.jennybanker.com/for-kids daily 0.75 2021-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe85754fdf0060cfd542/1616021408349-I37MHQ66664KPFL0GVZ5/yellow+cactus.jpg For Kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe85754fdf0060cfd542/1616021866703-WT1CNZZYU0WM2BO5D5U8/lilac.jpg For Kids https://www.jennybanker.com/events daily 0.75 2021-03-17 https://www.jennybanker.com/plot-write-it daily 0.75 2023-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050fe85754fdf0060cfd542/1627673677816-H8HKNNETAID4859VQJ5C/Nest.jpg Plot- Write It - NESTED WHAT CREATURE BUILT THIS NEST IN THE SIGN?
