Feeding My Brain

Hey Good People, I have some good news to share. I was a awarded a full-scholarship for a Masters in TESOL!  The acronym stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

I started my class this week and I am very excited to have this opportunity to learn new ideas and theories that will take my teaching to another level.

I am also grateful that there are three teachers from my school that are part of the cohort! Oh, and we all  really get along with each other.  It is awesome to have a built-in support group along for the journey.

So, here I go again!

Me Talk Pretty

A few years back I was in the habit of checking out Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day. I enjoy adding to my vocabulary, plus it helps me with my papers at school. Here are the selections for the month of May. How many do you know? I knew the definition of 13 words. My favorite new word is "chockablock," because it's definition and usage is something a fierce queen would use. Click here to get the definitions.
