It's not that I have anything against green ogres in particular, but when it comes to pronouncing my last name (Streck) I often, and repeatedly, need to make the distinction that I am not, in fact, a green ogre or ogress even.
Now, I can admit that as a teacher, there may be some who view me as a monster, brute or tyrant, but I assure you that's not the case. And, I am certainly not a man-eating giant. But I don't mind at all being confused for a creature that is also fantastical, larger than life and often misunderstood. And I only have one particular green ogre to thank for that. : ) THIS IS MY FIRST BLOG POST And, so here begins my professional foray into the world of blogging. I vow to do my best to keep updates coming at regular intervals- and not for those that may choose to follow along, but I do thank you immensely- rather for the purpose of sparking my regular reflection on my teaching experiences and recording them, so that I can continue to improve as an educator by learning from those reflections. If you do choose to follow, please feel free to ask questions and share constructive, not destructive comments or suggestions. Also, please keep in mind that I am a school teacher, so everything that appears here must remain appropriate for the impressionable children I teach and whom I will allow/may require to follow along as well. Thank you! |
