summer school week one

(If you read this there may be a video bonus at the end.)

A lot things on my mind about summer school so far:

• We don't have enough students, but that isn't the end of the world.  We have one student in Mississippi Studies which is definitely better than none.  One student is not ideal, but I turned out okay, right?  ....Right?

• I am enjoying the schedule of a second-year.  I haven’t taken advantage of using TWO planning periods, but it has given me time to observe other teachers and give feedback.

• Molly has turned me into a feedback crazy person.  I know I can’t write nearly as much as she did on my evals, but I’ve come close a couple of times.

• I am impressed by the first years so far.  Everyone I have seen so far has great potential.   A big shout-out to my first years, John and Ashton, who have weathered the first week in great style.  Also, props to Trevor for a very nice lesson today.
  

• I am pretty happy with my three lessons.  The first two I had never taught before, but that will change this fall.  My first formal eval went well.  I feel like I have improved which is a good thing.  Still a long ways to go though…
  

• I can’t wait for volleyball today.

And now for your reward:

This may help to explain why Sealand and I say strange things when we are messing with any golf clubs.  The following clip is from Caddyshack.  If you haven't seen it, then stop lesson planning and go rent it.
