In this summer nothing really happened that was spectacular, in fact, sometimes I think that in life we ​​lose more than we sometimes win, but what does it matter if, we lose people, feelings, well, we do what we want to do And we are who we want to be

I started my summer with a 3 day weekend trip to OBX and then had hand surgery (corrective) on Tuesday - forced relaxation which turned into just enjoying "being" including the beach with my family. Also thought a lot about how awesome this school year will be!

This past summer, I was able to engage in a hobby that I play when I am not teaching. This summer provided a perfect opportunity to play pickleball on a regular basis.

I completed the VCU post-master's in Ed. leadership this summer. Not only will what I learned help me, but not having those classes over my head will give me much more time to focus on helping out around Tucker!

A lot of my summer was spent catching up with old friends and getting out and adventuring! I visited the west coast with a trip to Oregon and then Los Angeles. I heard a lot of live music, including a trip to Camp Bisco on Montage Mountain near Scranton PA, and saw the best show of my life, Tame Impala, at the Anthem in DC. I got to spend a week at Bethany Beach with my family, and made visits to friends around Virginia and the DMV -- DC Maryland Virginia area... But in addition to a lot of fun, I was fortunate enough to participate in a great online professional development on the teaching of the tough topic of slavery. It opened my eyes to some new ways of thinking and a bevy of places to look for resources. Its never easy to leave the vacation life, but I feel relaxed and ready to go for year 5!

My niece chose to get married in Luray. I have always wanted to go to Luray Caverns, so we had a great trip there as part of our wedding weekend. Definitely something to check off of the bucket list!

I had sand in my toes all summer! And helped plan a Family Reunion in Maryland where about 200 family members hang out together all weekend! And I replaced my own refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor!! It cools nicely now!

Although I still had to work as a 12 month employee, I still enjoyed time with my family at Myrtle Beach.

Went to Bogota, CO and started at JRT.  Big summer!

We go to the beach for my weekend and I get all of my fun reading done. I got through four pretty hefty books. I'm already looking at how to work one of the new books into my curriculum, but all will be on my shelf with high recommendations!

(Raina) I have to continually remind myself to balance life with my profession. I went to 2 PDs: Differentiating for students with disabilities in the WL classroom and using digital tools for deeper learning. I watched a lot of true crime, played with the dog and our 6 chickens, and went to Hilton Head with my husband (see meme below!)

As part of my licensure requirements, I took a classroom management class centered around the book below.  What a great experience!  Wish I had taken the class earlier.  Great lessons and practical advice.  Also unexpectedly won the MCJROTC Academic Bowl national championship in Washington D.C. Watching our Tiger cadets excel really reinvigorated my committment to the MCJROTC program!

I spent the summer at Lake Anna grilling, boating, swimming and braving these people. If I can survive them, this school year should be a snap!

I spent the summer walking through Spain and Portugal on the Camino de Santiago and visiting with family and friends. We also added a new furry family member. I am rested and ready for a new year!

Summer is a great time to rest, relax and spend time with family and friends.

I went to a conducting symposium at Shenandoah University to better my conducting and rehearsal techniques in front of two clinicians and other elementary music teachers and band & orchestra directors. Then two weeks ago I took a road trip up to Indianapolis, Indiana to watch DCI (Drum Corps International) Finals! And that made me super excited for marching band! I can share videos and pictures in person if you're curious.

My wife, son, and I welcomed a new member to our family in June.  The impact has been significant.

I think one of the best things teachers can do to prepare for the next school year, is truly take time to reflect & rest. I went to Hatteras with my husband for a week & took a healthy, well deserved break from thinking about school :)

I found the interviews in this book compelling and even contacted the author to ask a few questions. So many of these stories echo our students' experiences.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about what makes Tucker Tucker and how we can leverage those things to propel positive changes.
