Grades are finished, and most of my end-of-the-year duties are completed. Looking forward to the summer, I have several items on my agenda, just in case anyone is interested.
First, every weekday morning is scheduled for garden work, exercise, and driving practice with a certain teen driver. Afternoons will be divided between reading and preparing for the next school year. I plan to make detailed lesson plans for each lesson in each course I teach and align them with the new Common Core Standards. That will be a huge task, but I need to do it.
I'll be teaching a night class at Lake Land's Kluthe Center campus in Effingham this summer. If you haven't taken SPE 111 Intro to Speech, you should sign up! In August, I'll be back to my long-standing assignment as Junior High Summer School teacher.
Somewhere in there, I'll work in time for watching some Cardinals baseball and maybe some fishing. Thanks to my brother-in-law, we have behind home plate tickets to see the Cards play the Royals in Kansas City in late June. I hope they're not in a slump!
So, as you can see, I have a lot of plans. Will I accomplish them all? I guess only time will tell.
