Year 34 Completed

"The Blue Box": my four completed portfolios.

I completed my 34th year of teaching last week and what a year it has been for me. On June 14, I took my three hour exam, the last segment of the national boards and now the long wait until I find out in November. It was a wild year as I was hesitant to leave, a little teary and holding back.
But I am done and now headed out to see friends. Over the next few weeks, I will be in and out of town. I am looking forward to:
*meeting my new critique group which is forming
*meeting up with Annie in California
* planning the fall Kidlitosphere conference
*reading
*writing
*hanging out with family
*napping
