I went to get one of my new RR students yesterday. This is only the 2nd time we have worked together. When we left the classroom and headed down the hall I said, "Happy Valentine's Day!" She got a shocked look on her face and replied, "Oh, no! I forgot you were my teacher! I got my other two teachers a Valentine, but I forgot you!" :-)
"It's okay," I replied through my empathetic grin. And I thought to myself, if only the adults in our lives thought of others first, what a different world this would be. I LOVE working with kids! I LOVE the perspective they bring to each new day. And I LOVE that they LOVE me!
Have a great night! And Happy (belated) Valentine's Day! (Tequila Reserva, 1800 Anejo)

I used to drink Yellow Tail wine...which I liken to Easter Egg dye! It was not until I was in my 7th year of teaching, and after a trip to wine county to appease my husband, that I acquired a taste for the finer things in life. I still teach, but now I drink wine...not Easter Egg dye. This blog is designed to share my daily experiences as a teacher, with an occasional wine note thrown in!

These shoes were made for walkin'
These shoes were made for walkin' |
My husband and I decided to do our part. We are walkers. We (until about 6 weeks ago) usually walk 3-6 miles per day, 4 days per week. Lately, though, we hit a snag. A 'life' snag. We got busy, and we got lazy. Now, though, we have some motivation. The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. What a great cause, and what a great way to get back into the groove!
Tonight, after a 6 week hiatus, we laced up our sneakers and hit the road. We only did two miles...but still, it felt great. And now we have a purpose. A passion. Their names are Di and Kristen.
Consider joining our team. Consider doing your part. Let's beat this thing!
For more information please visit our site and consider a donation. Or better yet, join our team and walk with us!
