Once I did a lot of painting and remodeling. The name of my emerging business was everbrushstrokes. I like to think of my teaching career as a time of forever giving and receiving the brushstrokes of pedagogy and insight inside and outside the walls of life's classroom. My mission on this blog and in the classroom is to share the wonders of this world. I teach physics and physical science at the Madison Central High School.

Super B Arrives!
I had planned for this day for weeks. It started with a trip to my barber. She thoroughly sprayed my hair orange at her shop, Bob's, in Fondren.
My students helped finish taping the wand I had designed and drilled and hot glued strobe lights from the Halloween store.
An anonymous friend made my cape after my mom in Franklin, Tn shopped for a pattern and material.
Other students helped to tape the boots and gloves. Still others decorated my googles.
And here I am arriving just in time - one of the assistant principals who was directing traffic took a double take when he realized it was super b driving to work.
All in all it was worth it. Students are talking about a following with super b shirts from each of my classes and other students as well. A young colleague wants to be the female super b and sidekick. And the fun continues. . .
And maybe even a wave of the strobe light wand can turn underachievers into highly motivated students and average students into superstars and . . .
