Someone will write or say or do something close to amazing and you will be able to track it back to something you taught them. I am hoping that possibly you are going to be on the Feb. break that my school has and that you are, hopefully, heading to that beach. We all need to be at the beach once in a while...it is renewing. And poetry is a close second. Janet F.

This poem reminds me of my first year teaching when the teacher next door came by and told me that when things got hard, when I couldn't take it anymore, I should just lean up against the blackboard, close my eyes, and think about Hawaii.

You are the best. xo, a.Amy LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625469276544426664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-28618440845251744092013-02-15T09:06:02.970-05:002013-02-15T09:06:02.970-05:00Hope next week is better.
