I had one large surprise as our administration named me teacher of the month. This is a new concept at our school which awards the prize of our principal's prime parking spot for the given month. Future teachers of the month will be nominated by staff, but I was selected by our administrative team due to my willingness to go to the summer AP institute and to work on our school accreditation this year. I think that Mera will enjoy her new view--even if it is only for a few weeks.
I made some nice inroads today despite still feeling the effects of my travels, but I still have a great deal to get ready.
