A thorn:( in actuality b/c I still haven’t been given a class to teach and have been unable to ‘push in’ as I had hoped to do.

A bud in my mind b/c my artifact has grown based on my digestion of all things CITE this summer and other webinars/workshops on AI I continue to attend.

I am here from Lehman! I had such a great rose! I was super excited about teaching scratch, and I was really worried that my students wouldn’t be bought in.
