My sister is a English teacher and I received the honor of painting a little in her new room before the year started. It was actually a whole family project as we had a lot of cleaning and painting all the walls. I just got to do a little detail work. So proud of her and her new job at our families high school alma mater. All of our aunts and uncles went to this school along with our mother teaching in the district for 38 years. So we could not be more excited for her.
This Walt Whitman quote just seemed appropriate for students to reflect as they enter this wonderful room and remember as they leave and return to the world.
The tree brunch made us think of East of Eden by John Steinbeck…and we just like trees.
Julie’s favorite book of course has to be represented…Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
