Another unexpected call

When Herman left to go out on this past trip, he said that he would probably be gone for a week or so, so imagine my surprise when he called yesterday afternoon! Unexpected phone calls from him are the best. This trip out was a lot better than the previous one, but still not super great. Keep sending those positive thoughts out his way!

I went and visited my new classroom at the high school yesterday after my workshop was over, and began to mentally arrange it. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the other 10th grade English teachers to see what they do, and how I could tweak it. I'm so excited to be teaching an established curriculum, even though they both do it a little bit differently. It should be a lot less work that this year was, even though I am teaching 2 preps. I can't start moving stuff in yet though because the previous teacher still has stuff in drawers and file cabinets. I don't know if he's planning on returning to finish clearing it out or not. I guess I can be patient and wait and see.

I am excited to see my kiddos next week. Its so different going from "mothering" 120 kids a day to none all in the space of a couple days. I won't see all my kids, but I am excited that some chose to take summer school even though they didn't officially need to. Speaking of summer school, teacher orientation is tomorrow, and I need to get some planning done.

Off to spend this lovely day curriculum planning (leadership for summer school, and English for the fall) and resting.

Hope you all are well
