Discovering Inspiration

Sometimes you hit a rough patch; a moment in time when everything seems off and out of place.  Sometimes you know why, other times you don’t.  Either way it can throw you…far.  Far away from your routine, your sensible state of mind, your happiness, and your future goals.  When this moment in time occurs it is hard to find your way back to the place you were once before when all was right in your world, on your path to your destiny.

Oh Perfect Day!

Redefining Nerd

According to Dictionary.com a nerd is a “dull person devoted to a nonsocial pursuit”.  It also discusses the origin of this word coming from 1940’s slang for a “crazy person”.  All of this makes us laugh… Since our team-teaching endeavor began (in relation to our new program) we may act a little crazy in our pursuit for knowledge, but we have had nothing but a social experience.  We read/research, reflect, discuss, and collaborate regarding every book we that ends up in our hands. (…and when we don’t have a book in our hands we buy another…)

We are joked with frequently for being "crazy nerds" who read books, research, websites and blogs for fun in our free-time.  We are happy with it, we love the title and wear that crown proudly!!  Our take on Nerd Day was the true defintion of a Nerd... two teachers celebrating, "We're nerdy and we know it!"

Our new definition for the 21st century:  A nerd is a person who is Notorious for Enthusiasm, Reflection, and Discussion in regards to a specific topic.

We encourage you to celebrate your “Inner 21st Century NERD"!!
