Stacey’s M.M.: Teaching
I graduated from college with a B.A. in Communication and a minor in U.S. History. Even though I decided to move to NYC to work in the cosmetics industry, I secretly wanted to become a teacher. However, due to the low salaries, I decided against it, even though I loved the two years I spent… Continue reading Stacey’s M.M.: Teaching

Stacey’s M.M. Post: THIS BODY CLIMBED MT. WASHINGTON!
Summit of Mt. Washington Originally uploaded by teachergal "This Body Climbed Mt. Washington." It's a t-shirt I was so proud of wearing on my teenage body for years. It stood for everything I was able to accomplish when hiking up to the summit of Mt. Washington (all 6,288 ft. of it) when I was 13… Continue reading Stacey’s M.M. Post: THIS BODY CLIMBED MT.

Stacey’s MM Post
I remember giggling about it with my cousin Jared about three years ago. I remember shaking my head in disbelief when I heard her say, "This is going to be my last trip to Paris." I remember telling my great-aunt, straight to her face, that I didn't believe a word she said. She smiled and… Continue reading Stacey’s MM Post

M.M. Inspiration: Disaster Averted
Have you ever done an activity with a family member or a group of kids where you thought, "Wow! I got lucky that worked!"??? That happened to me the first time I did the "Million Dots Display" with my former fifth grade students. The results were amazing... ...but the process was a bit hectic! So,… Continue reading M.M.

Memoir Monday: Letting Loose.
Have you ever played Sardines? In this twisted version of hide-n-seek, one person hides and then everyone else looks for him. Once found, you get in with him, until soon, everyone is packed in (like sardines), laughing and hugging and together. This is my kids' favorite game. During a recent round, when my husband hid… Continue reading Memoir Monday: Letting Loose.

Stacey’s MM: Sometimes You Have to Let Your Hair Down
I've come to believe that sometimes we (i.e., teachers) need to be silly. That could mean jumping into a fountain or jumping into a photograph with a student that you weren't exactly supposed to be in. I remember eating nachos and salsa alongside my students during the second of three mini courses. One of my… Continue reading Stacey’s MM: Sometimes You Have to Let Your Hair Down

M.M. Inspiration: Sometimes you have to let your hair down!
Has there ever been a moment in time when you've let your hair down in front of others? For me, it was at the 105th Street (Central Park) Fountain with several of my former students in April 2005. The fountain (in the photo; photo taken in 2007) was empty and several of my students jumped… Continue reading M.M. Inspiration: Sometimes you have to let your hair down!
