Tyler's home!

Hooray!! Tyler is home from his two week stay in Michigan. I missed having him at home and it's good to have him back. He really seemed to enjoy his stay and I heard all kinds of good things about his visit. Grandma and Grandpa Lee enjoy him so much they want to keep him for a whole summer. Tyler especially enjoyed going fishing. He caught some really big fish on Lake Michigan. It's hard to believe summer is coming to a close. I go back to work in just a couple of weeks. I need to really start thinking about lesson planning and how I want to organize my classroom. It would be easy to do the same thing over the same way I've done them before, but see the thing is I like to try and make things better. I haven't quite figured out the perfect way to teach something so I do it different every year. I'm looking forward to teaching Social Studies again. I've missed that. I really like English but I've learned that not all my students do. I seem to be a much more likable class when I teach Social Studies too. In other words....not so many students hate my class. I also think it will be nice to have half as many students again. Teaching 6 classes is hard. I think it's harder to get to know the students because you have so many. I will like having 3 classes for two class periods each. It ought to be a good year. I'll just have to condition myself to get up early again. I've enjoyed sleeping in.
