I’m off work for the summer! Yeah, it’s been a hard but successful school year. Students made progress, which is the goal. Tomorrow I’ve got to go back in for training. Then I’m done.

1.  Can you speak a second language?
   • I know some Spanish and sign language. But in actuality, no, I don’t speak another language.
2.  As a child, what did you find easier, climbing a rope or climbing a tree?
   • Neither, I’m quite clumsy. I was ALL legs as a child.
3.  Did you prefer maths or science at school?
   • Math – Even though I did enjoy biology during my freshman year of high school. My sister kept getting compared to me when she had the same class and teacher. I was known for bringing in bugs or other creatures into class. Maybe I only brought in the one bug, but I was still remembered for that. I also enjoy dissections. Those were fun.
   • Even though I liked math, I hated geometry. Theorems and proofs were the death of me. Those were no bueno. Now I love the Pythagorean Theorem. That made sense. But proving why line z was parallel to line x, that made no sense.
4.  How would you describe your sense of humor?
   • I’ll tell you how my students describe it. They’ll tell you it is cringeworthy, or they’ll tell you I’m doing too much. I’m not appreciated for my humor.
   • For the last few days of school, we had an underground teacher spirit week. They gave us different themes. We could choose to participate if we wanted to do that. I, of course, was all about participating. Some of the themes were favorite college, favorite band, black out, anything but walking, dress like a student, beach day, anything but a bag, but some of the teachers changed it to anything but a cup, and funny t-shirt day. These are a few of the days.

I don’t know why I chose to wear a LONG dress on the anything but walking day. I have told my students numerous times not to roll around on the chairs with wheels. So I took the opportunity to do NOT what I preach but what I thought was fun.

Stay kind!

Have a magical day,
Traci
