Well, working in education is a bit like mining. You get up each morning not knowing whether you're going to spend the whole day banging away and not see much result for it, or if you might just happen to strike upon an incredible vein of riches that stretch deep into the heart of the mind you're working with. Alright, it's a bit of a stretch, but whatever it takes to keep my going, right?
So this has been an eventful week here in Iowa. i am working with some really wonderful students at North Middle School and every day is a surprise and a joy. This last Tuesday we had an open house for parents of our students and I was really pleased to see so many people coming down to my room to find me. It was actually a bit of a shock since I'm just a lowly teacher of a non-core exploratory class.
A couple of weeks ago Sunday we were out looking for houses, and we found one we think might just work for us. We are pretty excited about the prospect of buying our first home, but it's pretty intimidating as well. If we do wind up in the house, I'll try to get some pictures up.
Speaking of pictures, I'm sorry I'm not better with them. That software is just something I'm not totally comfortable with, and I have to admit that part of it is just that I don't know what looks great in a picture. I thought I knew, but some of the pictures I take, other people seem to think are not so wonderful.
I hope you are all well and that our paths will cross again soon.
