Summertime!

It is June 3rd I think. I am already in summertime mode which means I don't keep up with the dates very well. It will soon get so bad that I don't really keep up with the days of the week. I do, however, know what month is it. And most of the time I remember what year it is. Hey, when you get a little older, it's not as easy as it once was. I hope that everyone out there is having a wonderful summer break so far. It's exciting to think about how summer break has just started and that we have almost 2 months of it. I'm sure that whether you have big plans or little plans, you will enjoy some free time without any homework. That in itself is really nice. Although I have no homework, I was in a math class today and will also be in the same class tomorrow. It is part of the Best Practices Institute at Columbus State University. BPI is done through Muscogee School District and I must say that from what I experienced today, they have done a wonderful job. I am learning alot about something called Singapore Math. This is basically mathematical procedures that are taught to students in Singapore. Students there have very high math scores so we teachers here in the U.S. want to learn everything we can about this program. I think my students next year will enjoy the things that I have learned which I will in turn pass on to them. I look forward to tomorrow's lessons which I believe will focus on problem solving. Plus I had a really nice box lunch with a veggie wrap and other goodies as well as an ice tea with lemon today so I am also looking forward to seeing what's for lunch tomorrow...
