the lady doth protest too much, methinks

There's only 8 days left in the school year.  Wow, I can't believe it.  Often I thought this day would never get here and here it (almost) is.  I have so much to be grateful for.  Yesterday teachers received their programs for the next school year.  I'm teaching all the 9th graders English and I'm already busy working on their summer reading assignment.

Though I'm exhausted and badly in need of a bahavention working on the 9th grade English curriculum has been exciting and invigorating.  Freshman year is such a crucial time for every young person because it's like their coming out party.  I love the idea of helping students build a successful foundation for the future.  AND the most exciting part about teaching 9th graders is that they're MOLDABLE.  

I can't say much else now (too tired), but I wanted to share some good news with my readers.  

Now, what to do over the summer?
