One more week of school, then it’s summer vacation.  Ok, so teachers have to stay one more week afterwards to clean up, but that’s not a big deal.

So, what will I do with myself this summer?  I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and I have made the following goals:

• Average 2 articles per day
• Regularly update this new blog
• Keep my garden weeded
• Clean my house
• Go to a few concerts

I’ve come close, already, with almost 2 articles a day in the busiest school month of the year (next to September), the backyard is cleaned up, I put away the clean dishes this morning, and I’m going to two nights of Eddie Vedder in just over a week! 

Ooh, let the mental ping-ponging begin:  I’ve already been reminded of my favorite beer cap, given to me by a friend of mine.  It was from Magic Hat and said, “What could be better than a beer with Eddie Vedder?”  For me, probably not too much.

Other random thought of the day…….last night I was out gardening.  On my way back from the greenhouse, I saw another one of those Smart Cars.  I appreciate their economy, both financially and environmentally, and am seeing many more of them on the local roads. Usually there is only one person in the car.  Once I saw two people.  But yesterday, there were three people crammed into this Smart Car, and I just couldn’t stop thinking of those clown cars at the circus.  The image is still amusing me greatly this morning.

And now with that image firmly implanted in my mind, I must be on my way to weed and mulch for other people……..

My name is Andrea Coventry.  I am a former Montessori child who has now grown up to become a Montessori educator.

When we were graduating from 6th grade, we were asked to pick our favorite hobby and showcase our talents in it.  I chose writing.  Do I remember what I had written?  Not so much, anymore.  But I knew even then that it was a passion of mine.

Alas, I got away from writing anything that wasn’t a paper for school and the dream got away from me.  When I started teaching, having to write regular newsletters allowed me to start exploring that creative side again, and people encouraged me to start writing. So, I started with Associated Content in 2007, and have grown since then!

As a Montessorian, I am interested in a wide variety of topics and love to learn. I also love to network and share my knowledge with others. My article posts reflect that.

I hope you will join me on my never-ending quest for knowledge and that we can engage in some conversation!
