A few new tricks, and lots of treats....

As I look back at this past month, I realize that, thanks to so many people, I am learning a host of new teaching tricks. Classroom management, organization, assessment strategies, every facet of teaching is so generously shared with me. It is wonderful to be able to work with individuals who are so gracious in sharing their ideas, tips and techniques, extra supplies, and copies! It brings a whole new meaning to "Trick or Treat".

Fortunately for me, I also have had many treats this month. The biggest has to be the love and support I received from my co-workers, who are truly my family here, after my latest health crisis. Nothing like having to take care of yourself, 1,000 miles from your family to make you realize who you can really count on! If I did not have the support of my "family" here, it would have been impossible to stay focused and teach.

Here's hoping that you also find joy and encouragement in all you do!
