Day 61- May 20- Graziella Forbes

Graziella was traveling back to George River yesterday when I was flying out. It was really nice to see her before I left. She is a superstar in the teaching world and was recruited by the Education Services at Kativik (very wisely I must add) to be a a key person in the reform and development of the Math program. Sadly for our school, it means she is traveling a lot and not in the classroom with our kids. At least in the long run her work will significantly benefit the kids coming up through and getting a better grounding before secondary.

Graziella is from Toronto originally, her family is Italian and are some very nice people (they've come up to GR a few times). She has a beautiful family of a son, and then a twin boy and girl, with Guy (another teacher at school). Her picture is actually of a special birthday cake that she had brought back with her since she was away last weekend for Guy's birthday. Graziella is a real family girl, but also one of the most creative and hardest workers I know. She has a fantastic rapport with her students and other staff, I've always enjoyed teaching with her for her intensity and energy.
