Happy New Year! Over the break I was watching Back to the Future Part II. That is the movie where Marty travels into the future with Doc Brown and his Deloren. I had never realized the year Marty travels to in the future was 2015. We are supposed to be traveling in cars and skateboards that hover just inches above the ground. Also there should be high top sneakers that automatic lace themselves. (speaking for all teachers and parents around the world, we wish.) They did however get one piece of technology right, the flat screen televisions with Facetime. I love those moments when I can look back to the past and then look forward to future.
Today, the students and I talked about our New Year’s Resolution. I admitted to them how I always set resolutions, which are impossible to keep after a month. I always say I am going to diet after overeating all holiday season. Then I admit the diet will never work so I will give up chocolate. My students know this will never happen; Mrs. Pittorino needs her Baby Ruth’s. Finally, I forget the diets and deny myself chocolate, I decide to exercise which is a thrill to my dog. Well, now that temperature is dropping, once again this will never happen. So here it is, I am going to read one book a month for the pure pleasure. I told the students today, this will allow me to relax, get informed about the latest books my students are reading and set a good example for my own children and students.
Ask your child their New Year’s Resolution. There are a lot of promises for cleaner rooms, prioritizing homework and video games and being nicer to one another.
I hope 2015 brings to our families peace, happiness and giggles from our children often. I wish you and your families a wonderful 2015.
