Greetings, it’s National Coffee Day. September 29th is National Coffee Day in the U.S., just two days ahead of International Coffee Day on October first.
Let’s celebrate the glories of coffee! Nothing acts like a perk-me-up, like a help-me-stay-up-late, like a wake-me-up like good old coffee.
However you take your coffee, whether you add something to it or take it black, coffee has insinuated itself as part of the American lifestyle.
Let’s celebrate first thing Wednesday morning together with our first cuppa’ together, giving coffee its due and toasting mugs to National Coffee Day.
This year (2019) finds me with 50 plus years of teaching "under my belt." I have taught all levels from pre-K "(library lady" or "book lady"--volunteer) to juniors, seniors, and graduate students enrolled in my Advanced Writing class at the university where I have just completed 30 years. My first paying teaching job was junior high, and I spent 13 years with ages 12-13, the "difficult years." I had some of the "funnest" experiences with this age group. When I was no longer the "young, fun teacher," I taught in an elementary school setting before sixth graders went on to junior high, teaching language arts blocs, an assignment that was a "dream-fit" for me. After completing graduate school in my 40s, I went on to community college, then university teaching.
Just as teaching is "in my blood," so is a passion for reading, writing, libraries, and everything bookish.
This blog will be open to anyone who loves books, promotes literacy and wants to "come out and play."
