Wonder
Today was my first day back at work, so this word has truly been on my mind all day.
I wonder what my next year will be like? I wonder what how I will adjust to life with 29 kids instead of 22? I wonder how much extra time I will spend at school? I wonder how different 3rd graders are than 2nd graders? I wonder if I will get everything done by Friday for the first day of school on Monday, or if I will get stuck coming in on Saturday?
The district had Mary Bigler speak at our opening social today.
I want to be her when I grow up. She has a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction and teaches teachers at the University of Michigan. Even better, she takes a year sabbatical every couple of years to teach at an elementary school, because, like she says, how can you teach teachers when you haven't been in the classroom for 40 years! Not only that, but she has written a book, is president of the Michigan Reading Association, and was featured in Who's Who Among Women. And she was highly entertaining (especially when she laughed at her own jokes). That's what I want to do in 20 years. Watch for me.

Cool I laugh at my own jokes too, but it's not so funny as her I think probably. You know, I think your perfect just the way you are!
My best

I will be watching, because when you put your mind to something, you do it! Good luck. I will start now practicing being the mom of a "famous" person by being the mom of a "fabulous" person!
