Oh what a long while it has been since this blog has been used! Thoughts:
- First year of teaching: complex, challenging beyond belief, moments of absolute hilarity, moments of realized passion for education as liberation, authentic, genuine relationships that I never could have understood until I was a teacher
- Summer: Working at Breakthrough as Dean of Students...3 years ago, I was a teacher with the program, and returning has given me more than I could ever possibly explain.
- Overall state of mind: Exhausted. Hopeful. Full. Ready. Heart wide open for another year with my students.
Does any of this make sense? Probably not. I do, however, intend to write with more frequency than last year. Which, given it has been almost a year since I last wrote, shouldn't be hard to do!
Thoughts on my 2nd year:
- I would like to teach The Kite Runner in my curriculum next year. Thoughts? Or suggestions on other novels? Short stories? Poems?
- I think that I am getting to move up with my students! 11th grade! Woo!
That's all I have for now. A more thought out post is promised in the next few days! :)
Love you.
