I guess you kept it to the point! Your bunny is very cute!
Do you ever do any work with the dogs related to your HS classes?

Designing curriculum is fun when it comes to picking out the "what" you're going to teach. The part that gets tedious is the fact that everything you put on it requires a State Mandated Curriculum code - that's when it gets to be a pain in the you know what.
I remember being so proud after revising my first curriculum and then getting to teach what I wanted was the best - it was for a sophomore English honors class.

Hey Marisa! Congrats again on your engagement and I will definitely hire you as my Curriculum Director when I become Superintendent of a school one day. That's awesome that you have my cousin Anthony in class. He is a great kid

Congrats on your engagement, the bunny is cute, but it reminds me of the film Fatal Attraction!

I guess I'll never get over that movie

Dear Marisa,

Congratulations on your engagement!

Your bunny is very cute. At Cresskill High School, the science department has its own "mascot". It is a bunny named Theo. The kids love him, and I, too, have become somewhat attached. Believe it or not, some of the teachers allow the bunny to run around the room while they are teaching. They say that the students get used to it after a few classes.

I also like the great outdoors. I am a huge fan of camping and hiking. Do you also like these activities?

Good luck on your goal of becoming a department chairperson.

I look forward to working with you this semester.

Sincerely,

Marc Vogel

Your bunny is adorable! I had a few bunnies as a child. Where do you put the bunny in the winter months? Is it outside?

Congrats on your engagement! I have a really great florist if your interested!
