I've spent the first week like most teachers, explaining my policies and procedures to the students and getting them broken into the routine. The freshmen learned much good advice from the "How To Make The Most Out Of High School" booklet; the sophomores shook the dust off their pens and got back into some writing, and the seniors jumped right into Chapter 1 in their Intro to Speech texts. All in all, it's been a good week, and this looks to be a good year.
