Thank you for joining us! We are in the middle of introducing our newest team members. Please meet Elaine Roberts who took over the school library at Crossroads this September.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
JFS: Can you tell us a little bit about what you were doing before you arrived at Passages' Crossroads school library?
ER: Prior to working at Passages I worked at The Laurelton
School in Laurelton, Queens. I taught
elementary classes, seventh grade ELA and was also the literacy coach. As a coach I worked with all the grades
planning curriculum and selecting books to complement the curriculum.
JFS: What is your favorite kind of text to read?
ER: I love reading religious or historical fiction. I love history because it shows how society
changes based on the action of the citizens.
It also shows how things may change but how our fundamental
characteristics remain the same.
JFS: What was your favorite book when you were a teenager?
ER: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
JFS: What is your favorite book to share with teenagers at Crossroads?
ER: The Giver by Lois Lowry. This book shows how following rules
and doing what is expected will be noticed. This gives one the capacity to make
the right decisions.
