New Beginnings

There are few things I know about myself...the rest is just a mystery! One of which is that I am a teacher and the classroom was made for me. THINGS HAVE CHANGED. I (as my principal put it) have been plucked from the classroom. I am moving to the District Office to be the Chinese Dual Immersion Specialist. I had my first real meeting today. It went really well, but then I went back to my classroom later on, and I was a little broken hearted. Actually more than a little. I started to pack up my stuff and I realized I was packing it up for longer than a summer. I know it is the right decision to take this position, but it is a more painful than I fully realized until today. One week left and I am going to take full advantage of it.

CREATION




Some people are amazing and have a green thumb...I don't think gardening will ever come that easy for me. It might be a patience issue, but I hope in time I will be more like my Nanna and grow into a great gardener! Last fall my grandparents visited and they taught me a little about gardening- my favorite was the tulips...they were simple. I didn't know if they would come up, but I hoped. It was the first time I have ever planted anything and when they finally bloomed this week I was delighted! Such a small amount of work on my part, brought about a very beautiful creation.
