New school year. Got to update the blog. Now or never. Keep on keeping on.
8th graders this year are generally a pleasant crew, chatty as they ever were, but, most importantly, kindly and happy kids, island children - sunny and content.
Good News
$700 in a one-time state grant for library books spent mostly on new young adult fiction- what they like. Will post book covers and blurbs as soon as I have a minute.
All the old mac computers still working well still providing great creative software for movies, photos, music making and internet. Working on polishing their innards by deleting all the digital barnacles from last year with the help of my stalwart new apprentice, John C. We will miss Payton.
Three classes for me, English/ Social Studies block and the amazingly young 6th graders in Computer 6.
Looking forward to the Coast March in early October maybe a howling Pacific storm to weather hiding in the tents on the outer rim of the continent. A worthy group, that changes members daily, in Adv Ed.
Here's hoping the powers that be see their way clear to sanction another expedition to the Bay Area of Cali during the dark and chill season here. Last year's trip there is the new gold standard for Adv. Ed.
Bad News...
not really
