| Mrs. Schauer |
My name is Teresa Schauer and I am the district librarian and 6th grade Reading teacher for Pettus ISD. I have been in education for twenty-two years. I taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade Reading for two years in San Antonio, 2nd grade for nine years in Skidmore, Texas, 3rd and 4th grade for five years here in Pettus, and this is my sixth year to be the librarian.
I have been married for twenty years to my husband Bobby, and we have two daughters--Hailee is a senior and Ashlynn is a freshman here in Pettus.
I LOVE books. (Obviously, or I wouldn't be a librarian, right?) :) I have always loved books--for as long as I can remember. I think it's because when I was little, we didn't have computers, DVD players, or even a color TV--I grew up in Illinois where it was very cold, and if I didn't want to die of boredom, the only thing there was to do was read. I think it's so sad that so many kids today don't know the joy of getting completely lost in a book. There is nothing in the world that gives you the same feeling as when you get so caught up in what you're reading that you literally forget about the world around you. I think that EVERY kid has the ability to love books--and that's my goal as a librarian and Reading teacher. I want to open the doors to their hearts--through books.
If you walk into my library, be prepared for me to get all up in your business--not because I'm nosy--I ask so many questions because that's the only way I can get to know you. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that every person has a "book soul mate" that's already been written for them, just waiting to be found. I already know my books. How can I match you up with one, unless I know you too? :)
