I'm so glad you are here.  My name is Michelle Haseltine. I am a teacher. I am a writer. I have been teaching since 1995 and writing since 1982. Born and raised in western Massachusetts, I am a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan! Life has brought me to Loudoun County, VA where I've been teaching and living for the last twenty years.

I work with middle school students at Brambleton Middle School. When I'm not teaching, I can be found playing with my dog, Bella, or notebooking. Currently, I'm writing in my 85th notebook. I recently finished my first book about notebooking. It will be published by Teach Write Press.

I founded the #100 Days of Notebooking and Beyond challenge. We have more than four hundred notebookers who are writing and sharing their stories in their notebooks. This summer I will be part of Teach Write Academy. As part of the faculty, I will be offering two classes. Each month, I co-facilitate the #TeachWrite Twitter chats. My passion for writing and for teaching will be what you can find on this site.

Thank you for joining me as I continue my journey!
