Katie is currently in her seventh year of teaching language arts, social studies, and drama to enthusiastic third (and in previous years fourth) grade students. She is a life-long reader and enjoys ensnaring others in the web of life-long reading. As a traveler, photographer, and former archaeologist, she has visited four continents, numerous countries, and 41 of the 50 US States. She loves introducing her students to the wider world and fostering their excitement about other countries and cultures.
Logonaut was a word invented by Katie and three of her pre-service teacher colleagues while creating a unit on vocabulary-building and word roots. It has as its roots
logo (Greek for word) and
naut (Greek for ship or
nautae, Latin for sailor): word sailor. In our estimation then, a
logonaut is someone who sails on the sea of words and shares an appreciation and love of the power of words and language.
