Summer Message from Argy at the ME Education Blog

Sun

Yes, it is official, SUMMER is here according to the calendar and let me be the first to wish you a HAPPY SUMMER! I know school is officially over or will be in this week for all of you teaching in Maine schools.

I hope your summer is restful, fun, and that you take the opportunity to enjoy family and friends. I know that some of you will be working a second job and I hope it is something you really enjoy! After you catch up on your sleep and wind down, I hope you will reflect on the work you've done with students this year. Please know that I APPRECIATE the difficult task you have of teaching in the 21st century!

I bet you have a story to tell about a student or class success or learning opportunity that you had this year. If you'd be willing to share in a blog post please contact me. We'd LOVE to hear your voice and I invite you to post a comment.
