Sabbatical Year Blog

When you were a kid did you read everything? I did: books, street signs, magazines, comic books, newspapers. My parents could hardly get me away from text long enough to feed me. When I did finally get to the table I would even read the... you guessed it: cereal box.

I'm a working mom in Toronto, Canada (a middle-sized North American city.) I'm a fan of books, competitive swimming, Spanish, French, theatre, film. I've also had a great time writing and producing school musicals. This year I'm on sabbatical from my job teaching gifted children and French at a suburban school. I've just finished working with the greatest class of grade sixes ever! As you can see I'm very enthousiastic about teaching -- thus the year off.

To properly enjoy my time as an at-home-mom, I will be attending the Toronto International Film Festival. I've never been able to do the festival properly because it coincides with the start of the school year. My next entries will be about the festival.
