智慧之语 from 历届年度最佳教师
《十大正规网赌平台》的教学遗产
In 2013, 奥利维亚Henshaw-Black, 12岁, submitted a poem to 文字之河 和 won the Anacostia Watershed Prize; Olivia's teacher, 安妮·阿特韦尔·默克尔, was a Gr和 Prize winner in the first ever 文字之河大赛 in 1996. Anne is the first ROW winner who has grown up to guide her students, 下一代, to explore their watershed through creating personal, 环境的诗歌.
但故事并没有就此结束. 安妮·阿特韦尔·默克尔的母亲, Nancie艾, was named 文字之河 Teacher of the Year in 2010, 2013年, four of Nancie's 教与学中心 students were selected as finalists in 2013. That year, when Nancie retired from the classroom, Anne was hired to teach in that same position. 这是两代老师的故事, 一对母女, passing down their legacy of environmental literacy is truly inspiring.
我相信
I believe in gray days, itchy knee-high grass,
wool sweaters, overgrown paths, sips of vinegar,
蒲公英破土而出,
the birds that called back, cold bitter coffee,
the stale odor of basements, raging rivers, musty books,
the white caps in the bay, cool wings blowing from
the south, long walks accompanied by the wind,
the two-trunked tree in the side yard, the few precious
minutes before sunset, unevently stacked wood, fallen trees,
mossy rocks, gravel roads that end, slow-moving cars,
deep exhales of the mountain air, neatly-trimmed rose bushes,
cold showers, old men parked in their lawn chairs.
That some day life will live up to its enourmous expectations.
