Yes, 'tis true, only four seasons exist, unless you are a teacher, in particular a high school teacher, and then the seasons of October and April now are added. Welcome to my world!
Besides teaching five sections of English 11 and two pre-educator classes, I help with four groups/clubs and Homecoming and Prom. Some say I am busy. I say I am happy...just always playing on the job. Maybe I am just blessed?
This year, our Homecoming fell the last week of September, resulting in the October Season extending even longer. Add in Fall Break, grades due, (and make up work...ugh...my least favorite aspect of teaching), Red Ribbon Week, and...
Did I mention this is our 75th birthday at our school...so shall we add that celebration to the busyness of this year?
I am most excited about a new group we are kicking off...yes, Southerner Sidekick, a Big Brother/Sister sort of group, where we match a high school student with an elementary or middle school kiddo with the sole intent of even more ensuring academic success. This week, we are finally to the match-up phase. Excited I am about this endeavor.
Today, November begins...and, yes, I breathe a bit of sigh of relief that the season of October has now eased on by...or blurred on by?! And...the temps in Arkansas have cooled right down to freezing (no in-between for us!), so we are feeling fall and loving it!
Oh...shall we end of October's Good Reads? My current young adult read is The Inheritance Games, which I need to finish so I may pass on to some of my more avid teen readers. Yes, I like...and recommend to you!
Please share your current favorite read!
