writing about your kids
Welcome to my web site, davalynnspencer.com, where you will find me writing about your kids. I am a teacher, writer and speaker, and I can't wait to share what I've learned about kids in the classroom.
My Blog
I have an education degree from the University of Northern Colorado and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I am a sixth-grade public school teacher, freelance writer, inspirational speaker, wife, mother and grandmother. And in every one of these positions I've learned how important words can be.
Words encourage us, heal us, help us, and lead us. But they can also hinder, hurt and destroy us. Such power in a few pencil strokes and spoken syllables!
In this web site you will find:
... my education column, About Your Kids
... tips to help your child have a great first day of school
... what parents need to know about their sixth-grader
... articles I've written for newspapers, American Cowboy magazine, The Upper Room, and other publications
... and contact information, including easy links to my blog (I'd love to hear from you).
Thanks for visiting!
