Hit the Road Jack!

Me in my classroom before the students arrive, getting ready for the day!

Well, today, my mom and I begin to 24+ hour trek down to Miami Beach! I am so excited to get down there and settle in.


My last day of teaching in Atlanta (Friday) was wonderful. The kids wrote their own acrostic poems, and I was blown away at the creativity and hard work of the students. Their poems were wonderful! We had a readers theater and shared our poems with the class. It was very emotional to see kids who the first day of summer school wouldn't even say their name aloud in front of the class. Now, those same students are reading beautiful poetry as a presentation!

What a change-filled summer. And, I am ready for more!
