It has been a while since I have posted here, which I guess shouldn't be a surprise if you realize that my last post was from the first day of school. It was so much easier to post daily when I had the free-time of summer. However, I have decided that I don't want this blog to slip away from me.
So, what has happened since the school year started? Just the usual, I guess. I have given a few tests and done a couple of labs. I drove my Algebra class crazy by insisting that doing algebra keeps me healthy. I had a student tell me that it was okay that I don't have a dog to keep me company as long as I have a wife (a comment that I found much more amusing than my wife did). I have had meetings and parent conferences. I have started to get to know this year's group of students and am pretty happy with my classes right now.
My science classes start the year with a long unit on water. Although there are interesting things to say about water, it would be really nice to start the year with something that gets the attention of teenagers a bit more. There really is a limit to how engaging I can make water polarity. We will be doing a new lab about testing water quality on monday and tuesday. I have high hopes, though you never know what is going to happen the first time with a new lab.
I promise that it won't be another month before I post again.
