The first day back was great. It was so good to see the kids. They behaved pretty well. My biology class is now later in the day and what a difference that makes. They are actually awake! They even answered questions and participated. I have two writing classes now. They are already blogging! I'm feeling really optimistic about the semester. Unfortunately these friggin Phase systems are going to rule my life. I just have to find seams in the system to actually teach the students something worthwhile.
The worst class I have to deal with is all boys health. It is at the end of the day, you try keeping 4 high school boys interested and occupied at 3 o'clock in the afternoon with their shiny snowmachines parked outside.
I'll try and write more later tonight but I have a lot of work to do.

I am so glad that your new classes sound like they will be interesting for both you and your students. You should be very proud of what you are trying to do. I know I am! I am getting a blog going, believe it or not. Right now I can only do little things on it at work but once I get our computer at home I will be on the phone to you to help me make it as upbeat and cool lookiing as yours. I can't wait. Keep smiling!
