so tune to ESPN this week for your favorite teacher making cameo appearances – hey, after this year’s championship game with Georgia, you just never know…
“!nnovation” – wonderful book my gifted bunch could both understand and get a lot out of – much less myself – the author, an innovator herself, interviewed many other successful creative people on how they’ve become who they’ve become – I saved a few activities for us to use this fall – most interesting a brainstorming activity one group uses
“better” – study through the book of ecclesiastes from a pastor in LA – los angles – not lower Alabama – very accessible book for my middle school kids who often search for many different things – rather than be content with where they’re currently at – and definitely good food thought for their teacher
“the reason I jump” – we should do a summer book – everyone at school – and all read this book – at 115 pages, it could be done – basically, it’s an autobiography of a 13-year-old with autism – the book is an amazing gift to us into the mind of autism – and how we relate – and what we could do to understand and better appreciate those with it – just tons of ideas to use in the classroom with this book
“the odyssey” i’m guessing this is the third time I’ve read this book – probably the second time on the blog – first time was summer 10th grade year – just a classic story of a guy coming home – I guess the setup – the structure – of the story is what got me this time – just the formalities people go through in that culture with guests
“journey to the center of the earth” – the amazing thing about reading is that your next favorite book is often right around the corner – and I think that’s one reason why I read – the hope I have that something i’m going to read is just going to be great – and Verne’s classic really was great – probably second to 80 days now to me – and I can urge the sixth grade to read this one over 20,000 leagues – I have no idea why someone bought those books for middle school – center of the earth is much more understandable
have a great week

First

JUST MADE An ULTIMATE STAR WARS REFERENCE IN MY BOOK!!!!!!

johnny football in 30 minutes…
I’ve been counting, and I’ve realized that I only have to do forty minutes more blogs (two more weeks) so I’ve decided that the next two weeks will be those last two weeks of summer blogging, because so far I’ve done six weeks worth, and I’ve got some great news!
I GET TO BE IN MARCHING BAND A YEAR EARLY!!!!!!!
I didn’t even expect it, and it has happened! I’m so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spending the night in nashville at grand dads. Flight is at 6 and i have to wake up at 3!!! Luckily the amusement park in denver is worth it.

I have Bailey and Caleb and back me up in this. I just said: I don’t want waffles for breakfast
I’ll tulowitzki bobble head, if we go that night
ann-marie – that’s the most tragic news I’ve heard all year
yeah on the bobblehead news – be sure to enjoy the high altitude training you get up there in the rockies – and send my love to the university of Denver – I have stories of a volleyball tournament there years back when I was at south alabama
