Dudes! Dudes.  I totally suck.  Since May?! For real?! Hey, it’s part of my process, right? And I’m about to hand in a jip again because I’m just taking a second to stop in and wish everyone a wonderful school year! In all of the students, parent, academics, energy, and craziness (perhaps also a little bureaucracy with a splash of bitterness) let’s have a positive and kind time with everyone and ourselves.  Just like I tell my students before a big test- be patient with the test and with yourself.  Except it would be to be patient with our industry and ourselves…or something like that.  You know what I mean.     Here is my beginning of the year board (I blacked out the school name seals because, let’s face it, I’m still a little fuzzy on what we can post on social media).  I can’t wait to see my kiddies next week!
