Like this sunflower, I am still growing. This is my 4th year teaching 6th grade ELA/Social Studies. The sunflower also represents the farm that I grew up on, and the August wedding I will be having next year! I like to be active. I hope to run some more 5Ks this fall. I am also currently in a StepBet competition where I have to get 9,500 for an active day and just under 12,000 for a power day. This summer I climbed Mt. Katahdin for the first time.

I totally hear you about knowing what is coming next -- the challenge is that I'm always trying to balance letting folks know with what is coming next with not wanting to overwhelm because I'm not yet ready to explain in detail everything that is coming next. I will certainly do my best and by all means ask -- just know that if I'm not dropping every rubric and every assessment on day one, it's because I hear just as many folks speak to the stress that causes. I'm hopeful the syllabus provides some sign posts as to where we are headed in this class.

I really identify with your sunflower and willingness to grow. Your willingness to grow and preparedness for adventures really go hand in hand. I am looking forward to connecting with you this semester!

Thanks for sharing, Jessica! It was neat to learn more about you and what makes you tick. That's awesome that you climbed Mt. Katahdin. I hope the wedding plans are coming together nicely!
