Well, I decided teaching school is a lot like riding bike. Once you're back in it, it just comes naturally. I now finished the second week and I'm feeling a true sense of deja vu. I'm sitting here at night with my laptop on my lap, writing lesson plans, creating quizzes, and grading papers while Ken is watching the Giants and taking naps between rallies. This scene could be a picture of us five years ago.
The kids in my classes are very nice kids, which helps a lot. They whine a little about the work, but at least they are doing it. There is a very pleasant perk about going to school every morning. I pick up Dylan and take him with me; he entertains me all the way to school! Oh to be seven and have such a love for life! Yesterday he recited his memory verse several times for me and then we figured out he could say it 34 times in the time it takes us to get to school. Fortunately, he decided to talk about recess for part of the trip instead.
We had extremely hot weather this past week, which is proof (at least in my mind) that sane people start school after Labor Day. The fact that the air conditioner in my classroom didn't work, emphasized this point. Fortunately I could come home at noon and float around the swimming pool. I was able to see all the local grand kids twice this week, so it was a great week.
Next week, we get the trailer ready for our camping trip to Carp. I can hardly wait!
