One Tired Teacher Momma

Listen to Colleen Buff describe how she goes about getting the "right" book in a child's hands to make them lifelong learners.  The process isn't complicated but you need to ignite your passion and stay consistent.

Listen to me have a 1 on 1 conversation with my mom about mothering, legacies, laughs  and what makes us strong-willed women.

It may be our youngest son's 2nd birthday but we are celebrating our first and hopefully only quarantine birthday of our family this year.

As an 8th Grade Social Studies teacher I try to inspire my students towards creativity.  I told them no longer are we studying the history but we are the history.  So I asked them to record their voices and write journals and share with the world their thoughts of being a teenager in quarantine.  I guess it is only fitting that their teacher does the same so here I am leading from the front.  I hope you enjoy listening to my concerns, my joys, and my reflections of finding some normalcy during this unprecedented time.
