Is it already over??

Time flies or in old Latin, ‘tempus fugit’!!!!


Back-to-school sales are in full force which is the harbinger of the new school year. Didn’t I just finish packing away my stuff, emptying out the files and saying adios to the 2005-2006 school year?


I am ready in some ways and not so ready in others. After recharging the brain cells with new techniques and the AVID program, I can’t wait to try them out with the new group of students. Personally I was unable to do all the “fun stuff” that I had planned. Family has a way of tapping your reserves and I would like to think that they would do the same for me if the tables were turned. Still might head down to the Texas coast before August 7th.


My colleagues will be surprised that I FINALLY have an automobile with working a/c ~ now I can offer to carpool for lunch during the required in-service training. Buddies won’t die of heat exhaustion; they might expire from extreme boredom!


I will be the department chair for Social Studies on my campus. The members of my department do not play well with others so much so that not even the administration wants to come to our meetings. Ouch, how are we to be role models for our students if we can’t be professional? I haven’t quite figured out how to corral this group into a cohesive unit. Any suggestions?
