Hi!  I’m Vanessa Vigna, and I am a supervising sixth grade teacher at the Campus School of Smith College.  I have a Master in Teaching degree from the University of Washington, and a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from the College of William and Mary.  I’ve been teaching for quite a while now, and I LOVE what I do! Feel free to browse my neverending book wishlist on Bookshop, and send me a book!

Some of Ms. Vigna’s favorite things:

• Chris Van Allsburg picture books

• But also: BOOKS! Picture books and middle grade books are my jam!
• French fries
• Duke basketball
• Singing…and dancing…usually at the same time!
• Llamas and alpacas
  
• Independent films
• Peonies
• Thrift stores – on any given day my outfit totals $20
• Traveling
• Poetry
• Harry Potter

• New York City
• Costume parties
• Photobooths

• Music
