On Monday, January 11th, I will be stepping back into the classroom after over 6 months of sabbatical. (I started calling it that because “sabbatical” has a much more pleasant connotation than “unemployment”. And Melissa refused to let me call it “early retirement”.)
I am rested and ready to go.
I am grateful to return to Hauser Jr. High School to teach 8th grade English. This is where I taught sophomore English for five years before my family and I moved to Haiti in 2013. It’s a great school with a very caring faculty, staff, and administration.
I must admit it might feel a little weird to be back – both the world and I have changed quite a bit since I left Hauser. (I believe my change has been in a much more positive direction than the world’s!) I would appreciate prayers as I have several steep learning curves ahead – names, curriculum, policies, and technology, among others.
