Hello,
I'm excited to announce I finally started a YouTube channel! As of now, I've uploaded the Stella Writes an Opinion book trailer and short book talks for the other three books in the Stella Writes series (narrative, informational, and poetry). I hope to add other instructional videos. There are already some of these posted by different entities that show snippets of my teaching demonstrations. Given they were uploaded by Scholastic and BER, I can't feature them on my channel. However, I'll paste the links below.

I hope you'll take a look at the book talks (these are brand-new)! I posted the book trailer on a few social media sites, but this is its debut on YouTube. Woot!

I'll keep you updated--some big Stella news is coming soon!

HELLO

I'm a full-time K-6 literacy coach in a Title I school. I've taught for almost 30 years in different parts of the country. I love learning every day alongside teachers and students. My passion for literacy teaching has led me to write a number of books for teachers on literacy practice, including the picture book series: STELLA WRITES. When I'm not teaching or writing, I love to present, consult and collaborate with other passionate educators across the nation. I'm also 'MOM' to one overly energetic young boy!

Pay someone to take my chemistry examApril 22, 2026 at 6:23 AM
That’s such an exciting milestone—starting a YouTube channel opens up so many creative possibilities, especially with your Stella Writes series already taking shape through book trailers and talks. It’s great to see fresh content like your new book talks making their debut, and it adds a personal touch that viewers really connect with. Even though some instructional clips can’t be featured, sharing external links still keeps your audience engaged and informed. Moments like these remind me how people juggle creative goals alongside everyday pressures—sometimes even searching things like “Pay someone to take my chemistry exam” just to keep up. Wishing you lots of growth and engagement on your channel!
