New Term

I have always enjoyed starting a new semester or term in school. New courses offer the possibilities of broadening my horizons and hopefully meeting another experienced and knowledgable teacher that will share their unique worldview with the class. It is also nice to be having some down time around the holidays. With these reading days and a few less hours of class for the con-ed bunch it feels like Christmas break has already begun. This has given me a chance to relax and do some of the little things that are difficult to get to with a heavy schedule that teacher's college has provided. It will be nice to return to my Block One school this week for a visit. I am also looking to get involved with a local Public schools basketball team to make good use of my newfound free time. It was also great to spend an hour this morning shovelling a few driveways on my street and helping the more courageous souls that were attempting to navigate their cars down my unplowed crescent!

Only 9 days until Christmas!
