Marilyn Swander

As a young mother,  Marilyn Swander began writing stories about her children to share with her family.  After her youngest child was in elementary school, she headed to college to become a teacher.  Marilyn spent over twenty-five years teaching fifth and second graders and often used project-based learning to give her students hands-on learning opportunities.  She especially loved sharing her passion for paleontology with her students.  Now retired, Marilyn enjoys writing and creating activities for her twenty-one grandchildren.
