Cheesecake day

My students left my classroom happy. Frank McCourt ( author of Teacher Man) is right. There are two things to get through teenagers. First is food, and Second, topics on sex. Today, I saw a sudden change in my kids as soon as they placed their fork in their mouths and tasted the blueberry and strawberry cheesecake I made for them. I did a demo on making cheesecakes in all my three classes. It left me really tired at the end of the day.However, it was worth it. I was able to teach them something they can readily prepare and at the same time it saved me some headaches and stress. Students were all quiet as they savor their snacks. They did all their assignments with no complain. Their homework is to prepare it during the weekend and bring to class comment from parent whether on paper or a post on our class blogsite ( which is still in the infancy stage). Today is really a piece of heaven for me. Makes me feel grateful to God for making me a teacher.

Welcoming 2006

This picture of the sunrise inspires me to do better this year. I am not big on making resolutions but this year, I just resolved to make smarter choices and make my life more meaningful. Happy New Year! Happy New Beginning!

New Year at Vero Beach, Florida

My husband and I celebrated New Year differently this year. We went to the beach and watched the sunrise on Jan.1, 2006.
