T'was the night before school starts and all through the house
nothing was stirring not even a mouse
because my husband killed four of them in traps this morning. They were cute and fuzzy but they were in the wrong place at the wrong time--and hungry. Sometimes it pays to leave the cheese where it is.
And tonight I leave my summer where it is. Lots of learning new technology (well, new to me), lots of running in circles with my big dog, lots reading great books.
I'm ready to meet you, my new students, tomorrow. I'm really excited about some new ideas I've had over the summer, and I hope you'll like them too. I'm a person who's excited by new ideas--it's one of my great joys in life. And I love to share them--I guess that's what makes me want to be a teacher year after year after year.
I'm going to go finish off the book I'm reading by Jane Hamilton called A Short History of a Prince. It's a good read about a boy, and then a man, who is a dancer and then a teacher, who is passionate about music and movement. He's also gay in an era when he's uncomfortable about coming out about it. I don't know where the story's going yet, but as with all her other books, she'll keep me till the end.
Sleep well, new students. May the morning bring us all new ideas.
