Marvel is my one word this year.
I don’t usually do this thing. However, as the new year ticked over and the Aussie summer school hols was coming to a close, I thought it would be good to have one to help me re-focus back into teaching. So, I picked one!
Marvel as a noun and verb seemed apt as I start not just a new school year but at a new school.
To be filled with wonder or astonishment.
To discover a wonderful or astonishing person, place, thing, etc.
Marvel, I think, is what brings joy in learning… and, truth be told, in teaching as well.
May the year ahead be full of marvels!
Happy 2016!
