So, we are headed for the
last day of our 22nd @MSJC Academy professional development event. I’ve been so blessed to be able to teach another three-day workshop to about 30 great teachers. We are having fun and I learn from the participants everyday.
On the first day, so many people complimented me on how good I look. What a shock! I look in the mirror with my new left eye (the right will be done at the end of the month) and see wrinkles and how old I look to me. It was so sweet to have folks tell me that I look good! Last year at this time I was recovering from surgery and had white hair. But, maybe it’s the no-glasses?
I am paying close attention to changes in the world, particularly our teaching environment and am finding that my own thinking about teaching an learning is in transition, too. Our students are different than they used to be. We have to admit that and work with it.
Learning Moment: Things change all the time. We can’t be in denial about it or life will pass us by and we will succumb to our wrinkles.
“succumb to our wrinkles” you’re always so clever.
xoxo–you are always beautiful
