What does a teacher do on her vacation? My daughter (who is also a teacher), two granddaughters (one and a half and two and a half) went to see my cousin (who is also a teacher). Starla lives in Vicksburg, MS and normally when I visit, I immerse myself in the beautiful old buildings, museums and parks around the city. But this time my daughter and I made the wise decision just to visit. (Toddlers and historic items don't mix real well). So, when the girls were asleep, the conversation drifted where all teacher conversations go, to the "teacherly" life. We shared resources, told funny stories about our students, and shared our excitement about our summer break. But, we also started sharing our excitement about the new school year that will be here before we know it. That's the reason I'm a teacher, its not just a job, its a wonderful life. I hope I'll always feel the same way.
With a "teacher's touch,"
