Hello Beautiful People,
School is coming.
[insert Jaws theme song here]
JUST KIDDING – I’m not going to start weeping about the countdown to summer.
But I am going to start talking about school.
And what I hope this year will bring – for me, for you, and for the students who cross the threshold into your classrooms.
And so, my fellow teachers, I offer you an August Love Letter…
To My Fellow Classroom Warriors,
I hope your students come with open minds and open hearts. And should their minds be closed and hearts be broken, I hope that you, their leaders, their teachers, well, I hope you are able to guide them to a place of openness and a state of repair.
I hope your students will come with a zest to learn, and if they don’t – I hope that you will be able to foster a love of learning in them, I hope that you are able to help guide them to find bits of life and learning that ignite their spirit.
I hope that this is a year in which the administrators and parents of your district will be supportive of the work that you are trying to do.
And should you find yourself surrounded by anything other than a positive support system, I hope that you have the strength to rise above the negativity – and focus on what matters – the kids.
Live, Love, Learn,
