About this title

Synopsis

A final bell signals the end of my elementary school teaching career. I have said goodbye to my friends, my room, and my career. I am excited to be retired at last. Or am I? My anxiety mounts as I drive away, watching the school fade away in my rearview mirror. I have been an educator for thirty-seven years. Now what?

Out of the Crayon Box is a memoir of the first three years of my retired life. It’s an often humorous, sometimes poignant journey to discover a life after teaching. Through theses pages I explore:

How did I know when it was time to retire?
How to deal with unstructured time in retirement?
Can I really go to Starbucks in the middle of the day?
Ways to honor my past as a teacher.
Self-discovery through travel.
Adjusting to life with my retired spouse.
Finding renewed purpose and passion for life.

Out of the Crayon Box is a must read for teachers and anyone who has retired or is considering retirement.
