Goodbye Boston

Our lives are packed in little boxes
all the evidence of my brave venture out here tucked away and labeled.
Such warm people
Such good friends
Such great memories
So unforgettable
Thank you Boston for being my home
for teaching me pride in history and where you come from
for teaching me about "tonic" "bubblahs" and "carriages"
for giving me the greatest 5 years...
I will forever be a Bostonian...
goodbye

why I will miss teaching 11 year olds

favorite story of the day

Two of my fourth graders are writing "if I were in charge of the world poems"
and we were talking about what we would cancel if we could...
Adriel: I would cancel the yankees
Jin Run: I would cancel your face
LOL
just a smile to brighten your day
