San Antonio, Texas
I was born in Laredo, Texas and
have 5 brothers and 4 sisters. Most
of us now live in San Antonio – I’ve
lived in SA for 23 years. One of our
family traditions is celebrating
Thanksgiving together. We are now
more than 50 at the table and look
forward to this reunion each year!
My husband and I celebrated our 25th
Wedding Anniversary in December 2007
by traveling to the Yucatan Peninsula.
We visited the Mayan ruins in Tulum,
Mexico. Tulum was known as the
“Walled City” and while not the largest
Mayan city, was considered to be the
most important as it served as a major
trade network. The ruins stand on a
bluff overlooking the spectacular blue
waters of the Caribbean.
I am undoubtedly a fan of Bruner’s work. I strongly believe
that to improve our craft as educators, we need to think
about the instructional decisions that we make in our
classrooms each day and reflect upon them as a means to
become better teachers and better learners.
