I told Debbie that I was going to blog about her today because I knew she would hate it. Here are a few items of interest about her.
1.)She hates to decorate her classroom. In fact, several of us took care of that for her last year. It looked GREAT!
2.)She always knows what is going on at the school - even if she has to make it up all on her own.
3.)If she had her choice, she would have been a ballet dancer - she trained for years, but a freak elbow injury kept her from bending her arms in the right position and she just looked funny trying to do all of the moves.
Seriously though, she does a great job with the kids and she isn't the "anti" like she likes to let on that she is. She cares about her teaching and just seems to know what is right for her students...even though I may disagree with her from time to time.

I've enjoyed getting to know you (and Robin) this summer, Deb. Belpre will never know what hit them when we return.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all that (both of you) do.
Thanks Zach - just so anyone who cares knows - Robin thinks he's quite crafty - I really was just into break dancing...
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteI like your straightforwardness and sense of humor. Thanks for reading my autobio and for the good advice.
Keep doing what you do with students.
I bet you're also a fine mom.
By the way you are the only person here with an official blog post.
With friends like Robin...
Yes, Deb has a sense of humor that we all enjoy. We hold her in high regard.
ReplyDeleteBreak dancing and graffiti... Oh yeah. I'm looking forward to your presentation for tomorrow. Do you still need the neon glow-in- the-dark armbands?
ReplyDeleteDebedgar, My first AWP writing partner! Mysterious Masque Madame! I can't wait to read your graffiti!
ReplyDeleteI do not think a day goes by that Deb does not say something that I am so impressed with. I would love to see her in action in her classroom. Thanks for the blog.
