Teachers are out

Our teachers are out but I still have one more day, Monday. The building will be so quiet.

Christmas Vacation

Today as I locked the doors, I said "merry Christmas." Before the day ended we had a fight though. What a way to go to the buses on the last day of the semester. Fights at school in the old days meant a couple of boys horsing around and punching each other a few times. Today one girl jerking another girl's hair and pushing her down the hill into the gully. Not a pretty sight. Girls forgot they were suppose to act like ladies

AS CHristmas nears

The children feel the spirit when no one else does. They slide through the halls with a jolly nature and surround us with hope. I love school in the winter when there is no where else to really be. The walls call my name even on my days off.I hear please to come and see different things the students have made and I am eager to get into each classroom to watch the joy learning brings.

Becky's Kiddie College

My first experience in school involved a fabulous little van we called a bus which picked me up at on Myrtle Avenue each morning. Back in those days if you were going to kindergarten, it had to be a private one. I will never be sure how my parents afforded it since we were living in a one bedroom apartment with two kids and two parents. They found a way though and so I eagerly waited on the curb each morning for my ride off to the adventures for the day.

Inside this special place we even had a bridge under which we pretended the "Troll" lived A stool in a corner? Of course What a wonderful beginning for a career in schools.

Life in a School

I have been going to school for 48 years. Each day I Have found school to be the one place in the world where I love to be. I have been as a student, teacher, writing and reading consultant,and assistant principal. Each view of the schools where I have been fortunate enough to be has been different as well as fascinating.
I have several blogs but this one will be dedicated to education, my education...from my teachers and students, my insights, and my dreams for the classroom.
I have been fortunate enough to work in classrooms around the United States for over thirty years. It has been an adventure I want to log hopefully to keep me aware of why I love my job.
