last day of summer school

finally it's over. I'm glad I have a break now or I'd be going back to work next week. YIPPEE

Yesterday, while reviewing grammar for the SAT's I used the word docile and asked if my students were docile. One about to be senior piped up no, this class is so boring. I invited him to take over the vocabulary review and show me how to make it more interesting. He walked out.

2 kids dropped saying i was too hard for 7th graders and he didn't need to know how to read or write since none of his family could.

I took and hour today to interview for the library coordinator position in the district office of berryessa school district about 10 min. away no traffic. I'd like that. I'd train the elementary library aides et al.

sorry FOR Michael FOR HIS BANK JOB IN Charlotte.
congratulations ON THE NEW ONE IN Baltimore STARTING 9/8.
I'm glad Mikie can go with you. Hope the house sells or rents in Charlotte. It will work out.

It's a tight market in banking and teaching.

Things I love:
My automatic garage door opener

Books:

I just finished N.Barr's
Borderline
.

The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner was too hard a book for my high school kids and me!

My PG&E was down from last year to 28.00 Gas is inching up to 3.00 again.
