What am I looking forward to getting out of my Kenan experience? Hmmm…

At this point, I am mostly looking forward to getting out on the river tomorrow and decompressing a bit. Long term, I hope to become a better teacher for my students, families, and colleagues. I want to gain a deeper understanding of the content underpinning the life sciences strands in elementary school so that together we can make it concrete, tangible, and accessible to students, families, and communities. And I want to be able to build a connection between the women who run the lab and the young girls dreaming of their futures, to help my girls see that their native languages are strengths, not obstacles. I do want to help change my small corner of this great world.

But for now, I want to rest up so that I can be open to whatever the world tosses up tomorrow when we venture out into it.
