I sometimes don’t have anything particular to write about, but still feel like writing. So here goes another edition of my meandering thoughts on this Friday morning…
- The summer vacation from teaching is quickly approaching its end. Just a month from now, we’ll be welcoming students for another school year. I always look forward to starting back, even though it’s just an interim maternity leave position. Due to restrictions on how much money I can make per calendar year, this position will be the only assignment I’ll be able to accept until January of 2024. My assignment is eighth-grade social studies, which will mean I’m working with some students for the fourth year. I was their sub for the fourth, sixth, and seventh grades previously. Since I don’t sub in high schools, this will be my last go-round with them.
- I’ve been reading and listening to quite a few “self-help” books this summer. I rarely read an entire book before I start another, but that’s just my style. I’ll post a list of the books on another blog in case there are those of you interested. I also have an app on my phone that lets me listen to the books. I’ll either listen to a chapter and then read it or visa versa…. who would have thought that twenty years ago I rarely read anything.
- To be continued….
