Positively Persistent Teach (on summer break)
I am a Pre-kindergarten teacher transplanted in Florida from Ohio. I use this space to collect teaching ideas, discuss politics, and go all fan girl over my favorite books or tv shows. I worked with Tumblr to develop the #education tag and think the #education community on Tumblr the best thing to happen on the internet bar none. I can't promise that this blog will always be positive, because believe it or not, I'm only human (as Garfield would say). However, my teaching philosophy centers around focusing on the positive and being persistent about learning and the kids that I get to call my own for a year.
Never give up on a kid or yourself.

This is my friend Emily, an English Teacher from Australia, currently in Japan near the plant. I met her while teaching abroad in 2005, and we’ve stayed in contact ever since. She lives near the nuclear power plant that has been having problems. She’s been evacuated, and I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to hear her voice. I can tell you that she sounds very scared, and very tired. I’ve been so worried about her, but I am hopeful she will find her way to Tokyo and then home soon.
