WELCOME BRIAN MYERS!

What a crazy week or two - first of all the sudden departure of our principal, and then the awful delay in announcing our new principal, even though we gave a strong recommendation to the district on the candidate of our choice.

Finally, we have our new guy.  I can't help thinking of the song, "The Boys are Back in Town" but I hear that Brian will be the first EVER male principal at Cannan. What's up with this?  We now have a loaded male campus of 4, so the testosterone is flowing in our hood now...

Anyway, I know Brian will be a great principal, just as he was an excellent VP over at Mathews.  He may have taken a detour to get here, since he for some reason had to swing by Beasley for 6 years, but it is funny how many of us have crossed the pond, or at least the Oddie overpass. I guess we all know a good thing when we see it.  I did find a great review of Brian at ratemyteachers.com where the kid wrote, "He takes his job WAY too seriously" So obviously, he is a perfect fit for Cannan!
Here's to an exciting new year, with only forward and upward progress under a cool leader.

Welcome Brian! (or do we address you as Sir?)

First Tries and Baby Steps

As you can see, this is a beginning version of what we hope our teacher blog can be! It will be a group blog, so that everyone will be able to write posts, upload photos, videos, and share the amazing thinking that is going on around our school every day.
We hope it will be a place to engage in deep-thinking conversations that will result in improving our teaching and raising our students to a new level in their learning.
Let me know what you would like to add or change about our blog, and I will make it happen.
Thanks for your input, and I look forward to our future as a blogging community...
Mrs. Harvey
