Between Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break is one of the more challenging times for teachers. Over the past few weeks I have felt as if my students might explode, but the same goes for me. This Friday is our halfway celebration for Teach For America and I can't quite believe that much time has gone by. I am, admittedly, quite ready for a break! My roommate and I threw a holiday party for all of our friends this weekend. Our apartment is completely decorated including my first self-purchased live tree! Since Charlotte is a completely new city for me far away from where most of my college and high school friends live all of my friends here are teachers. When we get together we swap a lot of amusing stories! As I said over Thanksgiving break my goal again will be to tell mostly the good stories (even though the bad ones are sometimes the most amusing). So whether you see me during break or we talk on the phone, remember to ask for the success stories, because as I am itching to have more time to sleep, think, and breathe I am also itching to share about the growth that my students are already making.
