The beginning of the school year is always magical for me. It’s going to be my 15th year teacher. When I thought about it this summer, I thought wow 15 years and it didn’t feel like anything exciting was going to happen. Yet, today I was told I will be teaching two Spanish classes in […]
Thursday, August 28th, 2008I Liked Obama’s Speech
Although I wanted to see a woman as the next president, I really like that Obama gives people hope. He says the word ‘change’ a lot, but after hearing tonight’s speech I felt that he really understood what’s needed. Even more, I liked how empathetic he was to America’s problems.

I’ve had such a wonderful summer that it’s hard to return to school. But I went back today and fixed up my lab. It’s a beautiful room and as I cleaned and rearranged, I thought about all the great things that kids have done in my room. This will be my 15th year teaching. The […]
Monday, August 25th, 2008Crushed Olympic Dreams
Of course everyone has been cheering for USA’s Mike Phelps and his victory at the Olympics. Yet, I can’t help but wonder how awful some of the athletes must feel going home empty handed.

Monday, August 11th, 2008Who wouldn’t want to compost with this cute compost bin?
I had some bad experience composting years ago. Yet, this bin is sooooo cute! Maybe I would consider it. But then again I think no because I am not cool like Julia Roberts and I don’t want bugs in there eating the compost.
