Adventures in writing . . . and teaching

Big thanks to Steph B for pointing out (in an e-mail) what a slacker I've been about blogging. So, here's the scoop.

This year is quite different from what I expected, but I'm enjoying it thoroughly! I am NOT teaching full-time. Instead, I'm teaching a bunch of private voice lessons and working on writing a book.

The tentative title for the book is The Stretch Project, and it is a memoir, which means it's based on my personal experiences. It feels weird not teaching at a school, but I am having a blast with my students and I love having morning time to write. I'm also rehearsing for a play with the Salem Theatre Company - "The Crucible" - which will be performed in November. So, it's a full and fun year so far.

I hope to be back to full-time teaching next year. I am taking some of my time this year to visit schools in our area and get inspired about some unusual approaches to education.

Let me know what you all are up to! I miss you sooooo much.

Hi Mrs. Labonde! It's great to hear an update of what's going on! I was looking through my music folder from last year and found your blog! I hope to see you soon!
