The 3 Best Things About Teaching

June, July, and August!  And June and July are already over.  Yesterday I received e-mails about the start of the new school year .... sigh!  I did not do nearly as much as I wanted to over the summer, but it's been relaxing and rejuvenating.  As much as I enjoy teaching, I really need to retire soon so I can have time to do all my extracurricular activities hahaha!

One project I just finished was crocheting bookmarks for the 7th grade advisees I will have next year.  At my school, the advisor teachers write a note to each student welcoming them to the junior high and we are encouraged to make it personal.  Sometimes I write a poem (but I'm not feeling the groove this summer) and I always crochet this bookmark.

This bookmark says a lot about me.  

1) it's crocheted, which is one of my favorite things to do

2) it reminds me of a plumeria, the simple yet fragrant flower from home

3) and I love to read 

As I make these bookmarks for my students, I know the end of summer is coming.  But I look forward to the new experiences that the school year will bring.  And I know that at the END of the school year, we go to Disneyland!  YEA!!  (I'm already thinking about next June)

This blog is kind of short because the groomer just called and my dog, Siobhan, is ready to come home!

A hui hou!
