I tinkered around and I finally figured out how to add an About section to my menu. Cue Happy Dance!
Do you have an about section on your blog? If not, why?
With teachers from six continents participating in SOLSC, it is impossible to know where everyone hails from. Giving the reader context from which country you are from helps us with social context and background knowledge. It is like giving us a decoder key to the foundation of your words!
Without further ado, I invite you to read about me:
Hello!
Thanks for dropping by. This site is dedicated to explore and hone my craft of writing. In homage to Wordsworth, it’s a space to fill with the breathings of my heart. My heartbeats are pitter patter of words. Words to share slices of my life with the community of writers from the Two Writing Teachers. This is the fifth year that I am participating in the SOLSC.
My name is Heidi and I live in Vancouver, a gem of a city nestled between mountains and ocean on the West coast of Canada. I’ve been teaching for over 25 years. I am a former district early literacy mentor, currently teaching a grade 3/4 class. I am mad about books! My classroom is infused with literature. Reading and writing go hand in hand, it is a symbiotic relationship. I’ve chosen the moniker of Book Dragon for WordPress as a nod to my infatuation with books. I am thrilled that my zeal for literature has not gone unnoticed. I am delighted to have been selected as a juror for the 2022 Sheila A. Egoff Children’s Literature Book Prize from BC Yukon Book Prizes.

Yay, I’m so glad you figured out how to add an about section! And congratulations on becoming a juror for the children’s literature award-what a fun honor!

Hello Shaista,
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
I am fortunate to live in Vancouver- it is breathtakingly beautiful with a high quality of life (but extremely high cost of living). Thanks for letting me know that you are from Saudi Arabia. I look forward to learning more about you while reading your slices.

Great bio- lots of interesting detail! The book award sounds fun (probably hard work too). I am currently living in Phnom Penh (I checked my bio- it is current).

I chose to read this slice because I am a book dragon, too! Love how you coined that moniker. Maybe it would make a great name for a book club–Book Dragons Unite!

Hello! Nice to learn more about you! Congratulations on two things; first, on figuring out how to add an about you section. Twenty-one days into this, and I still struggle with the technology, haha. And two, congratulations on being selected a juror for the children’s literature prize!

I’m glad you figured out how to add an About page. With a name like Book Dragon, I was hoping for some explanation. Hi Heidi! I’ve never been to Canada. I’m way down south in Louisiana. My town is in the arch of the Louisiana boot.

Hello Margaret!
I haven’t made it to Louisiana. The closest I’ve been to down south is via reading Charlaine Harris’ novels.
I’m glad the mystery behind my moniker has been revealed.

Congrats on further developing your technological prowess!
I live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, southwest of Portland by an hour and an hour from the Pacific coast. A beautiful spot filled with rolling hills, many small farms, and wineries galore.
AND, I love Vancouver!

Hello Heidi, thanks for telling us about yourself. I’m Celia and I grew up in England, but I’ve lived in Australia or India far longer than the UK. Never been to Canada, but my daughters have for a friend’s wedding.
