Well, here we go with another new school year. This year in Texas, the school year starting date was pushed back a couple of weeks (trying to save on electricity, I think), so we're beginning a little later than has been true in the past. Our 7th-grade group this year is HUGE, so classes are going to be large as well. From what the 6th-grade teachers tell me, it's a pretty smart group, by and large, so this should be a fun year!
It'll be fun for another reason - I've been given the pre-AP classes this year and, from everything everyone who's ever taught one has told me, I'll never want to give it up once I've taught it! I'm PUMPED!! I love to see the light bulbs come one and a group of honors kids has more than it's fair share of light bulbs do just that, so it ought to be really cool!
If you're reading, please pray that God will go with me and help me to be a good example to these kids, that He'll help me to be patient and understanding with them, and He'll help me teach them to the very best of my ability.

You will have a great year and the kids will be blessed because you are their teacher. You are awesome and I love you! Kimela
You're sweet!
I love what I do and I think I'm pretty good at it, but you can't help but wonder sometimes if there's some way to reach the ones who just don't seem to care or just won't make an effort. The parents of such kids typically exude the same attitude, so they come by it naturally, but it's still frustrating.
I don't let it get me down, though! Horses can be led to moisture but they cannot be made to ingest!
