So I’m back from Comic-Con (and a couple teacher workshops) and working through all the stuff I learned and saw there.  You’ll see come changes (nothing too drastic) in the coming months but I need to build a bit of a buffer to give me time to play and get things ready for the start of school.  Yes, unlike a large portion of the United States many schools in Indiana start in early to mid-August.  Hopefully I’ll get a large enough buffer built up to be able to not get overwhelmed with figuring out the new curriculum and to make my classroom just reek of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics).

Tune in Wednesday as I try to help Cecil work on his memoir (which I believe is one of the mandated genres I will be teaching to my class this year)… I’m sure I will cover this lesson with fidelity in the approved format of the Writer’s Workshop integrating the use of the writer’s notebook and everything else I have learned during my summer “vacation.”  😉
