As I write this, it’s still a few days until I start back to work.  As you read this, I am in class welcoming students for another year of learning about US History.  This is my seventeenth year teaching and I’m looking forward to it– in some ways more than ever, in some ways less.  I have a new classroom this year.  There is a new syllabus (the stuff we teach), and every year brings its own change.  I’m really wondering about class sizes.  We’ve had a lot of people move away from southern Henderson, but that doesn’t necessarily mean fewer kids per teacher– and my new classroom has 39 student desks!  Yikes!  I’ll keep you up to date.  Have a great Autumn everyone.
