I know that one school year goes fast. I have determined that this is my last year of teaching at the elementary level. This summer we bought out primary residence in Florida. You see, I am not a cold weather person. I never have been since moving to Florida in 1985. Having spent 13 years there between 1985 and 2001, I fell in love with Citrus county so that is where we bought our home. Every time we go down for a week we go fishing in both fresh and salt water. We are so fortunate. We will keep our home in Iowa to ‘summer’ here! Summers are fantastic in Iowa with our garden, temperatures, and live music!
The school year began for teachers. I don’t have my full roster yet, but I am determined to make it a productive, big growth year. I’m looking forward to working with children in this unique environment. How many people really get to work in a place with 400 young human beings? I am also teaching at the University as an adjunct professor with students on verge of their long teaching careers. Who gets to view education from these different perspectives?
