Al verano, ¡Adiós!

Summer is pretty much over, at least my mind-set says it is.
This is the last full-week of summer (today is Tuesday); next week we begin institute days on Wednesday.

I went in yesterday to work on my room. Jill came in to help out and for a little Spanish conversation practice. I will go in again tomorrow and, probably, Friday.

I ditched the feng shui thing. I did apply a few things, but, as a whole, it really was not going to work. I am doing a star theme this year.... las estrellas.

No word from Ms. Roach about tutoring. It has been a few weeks. She was all gung-ho for it when I spoke with her, but perhaps Mike is just not for it.

Discussed the phone message with Kathy. I felt she was playing it down and making it a non-issue. Of course, I went off a bit.

New textbooks in. Hopefully, they were delivered to my room today. No workbooks yet. As I've said before, there are SO MANY options with this text series that I am not sure where to begin.

The first day, only 15-minute classes, I think I am going to do introductions using Me llamo.... and ¿Cómo te llamas? The next week, a full week, I am going to concentrate on classroom information (rules, procedures, class information), passing out the student materials on Friday (with a short assignment). Not quite sure yet.

Otherwise, went to gym this AM and mowed the lawn. David is at the doctor this afternoon, so I plan to clean the house.
