Every fall, this time of "getting ready" precedes the event on August 31st, when I return to school. I still have much to do, reading and working in the room. There is an orientation at the school for the incoming 7th graders, this week, but this is no longer my focus.
Working with the 9th graders, I see I have a much better schedule for this year, and much better students to work with, we'll see how it goes. Usually students are very much "into" their studies in the fall, things generally get boring to them by the winter; and once the "testing" season is over, they shut down. So human, they are. I hope I'm ready.
