Sunday Reflections

Today is the last day of our odyssey. Tomorrow will be spent flying 17 hours back to Houston.
It has been twenty-six packed days of learning more about literacy, visiting Australian and Auckland schools, learning about culture, history, and ways to protect the environment, and meeting friendly and helpful people from all over the world.

What do I bring back from this trip?
  • learning strategies to help my lessons become more relevant and me a better teacher
  • ways to conserve energy and the environment
  • knowledge and appreciation of 2 countries' history and culture
  • over 500 pictures
  • hope to make the statement, "I'm not a reading teacher, but I teach reading," a reality at Kempner High School.
  • gratitude to Mr. Mooney for informing us about the grant
  • hope that my colleagues will apply for a grant next year
  • gratitude to Fund for Teachers for allowing me to make this trip of a life time.
