The school year starts Tuesday. TUESDAY. There are many things I am doing to prepare myself, not just for the work itself, but also for the impending crazy schedule that will overtake my life: scheduling a last minute haircut, deep cleaning my condo, stocking up on groceries, and doing every last bit of laundry I can.
Another thing we've been instructed to do before school starts back up is to Google ourselves to make sure nothing pops up that we wouldn't want students to see. So far, the only thing I've found that I wish students couldn't see is my graduation year from college. I like telling them I'm in my forties, and hearing things like, "That's older than my momma!" That's right, I could basically be your momma, so sit yo' tail down and get back to work. (Okay, so maybe that's more applicable to my two years at Enfield, but it still comes out sometimes.)
I did happen to stumble upon a link to a short article that I knew my parents/grandparents would want to see, so here it is, for you all. I didn't know this, but apparently the Tennessee Charter School Association posted Facebook and Twitter updates when they announced the finalists for teacher of the year, and I got my very own posts, with a link to a bio that is a hybrid of their words and mine.
More of my words to come. I'm struggling to synthesize the past 2 months concisely, but I'll do my best.
Happy Sunday!
