Teachers usually play all summer. Not me. It was classes classes and classes. Some classes I had to take like special education and literary strategies. Some classes I took for fun like Swiss literature and conducting. Then being the over achiever I am I cut my summer even shorter and organized a retreat for my students at the U for the last 3 days. and when I say 3 days I don't mean 9 to 5. Oh no. Much more time than that. I just really wanted to start the year right. I wanted them to bond and become friends, I wanted them to work hard and have fun to. I wanted them to work with brilliant Dr.
Allred. And after hours and hours and hours I think it worked.

Me in action.

Teachers getting thanked.
