Feeling a bit sad

Summer School is almost over and I am going to miss you guys although of course I am looking forward to time off and a trip back east.  I am wondering if I can work in a trip to the McMichael Gallery to see the work of our friends, The Group of Seven.  I was there quite awhile ago and I absolutely loved it so we shall see.  No worries I will blog while I am away.

I have actually really enjoyed teaching summer school.  I think we have gotten lots done, partly because there are a lot fewer interruptions.  We have all had colds and that has been a drag of course but I am so happy with what everyone has accomplished.  I think all the seventh graders are going to be better prepared for high school and Lubna and Paolo, who are doing seventh grade math before they are even entered seventh grade officially, have done really well keeping up with everyone!

I have really enjoyed the last few days as we are reading one of my favorite stories, Call It Courage.  I am hoping we will have time to do some of my Hawaiian stations.  I am looking forward to your presentations on Polynesian islands.  I think we are all yearning to get to visit Tahiti.  I am fortunate that I have been to Hawaii, the Cook Islands, and New Zealand and when there, loved learning a bit about Polynesian culture!  One reason I love sharing it with you and hope that you will get to visit some of these places one day!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this experience with me and being such a super class!
