Summer's Almost Gone

Today was my first day to go back to my classroom after a short summer vacation. I listened to Among Schoolchildren by Tracy Kidder on audiobook while I rearranged the furniture and hooked up the computers again. It seemed like the calm before the storm in a way; the students will be back on Monday the 14th. Saul is starting kindergarten this year, and he is pretty excited. I'm just trying to keep a stiff upper lip.
