Thanksgiving in the burbs

What's Happening

Many of you are probably asking yourself what happened to November and so are we. In fact, as you can tell from our blog we have not even had the time to post! Here is a snapshot Anne is taking care of the Alpha Academy at IS 52, and has now also taken over as the AP in charge of English for her entire school. As if that has not kept her busy enough she also wrote the principals performance review and has been doing all of the teacher evaluations in Alpha Academy. Most days she works late and I take the bus over to meet her. Anne also has been making tons of time for little Drew by making sure his every need is taken care of and is in short super mom. Each weekend we have been making it over to my parents without fail—or as the Friday phone call from my mom goes, “Hi just wanted to see what you guys are doing—when are you bringing over the kid!”
I have been busy myself taking on a new position at the high school at Riverdale Kingsbridge Academy and I am teaching a special education class for the first time. It has been a very rewarding year at RKA. My kids in my 11th grade classes are coming along well and I look forward to them passing the Regents this June. I have been getting back into the gym more and trying to get in shape before my 40th Birthday gasp.
