Out for the Summer

I have been out of school for 2 weeks now.  I have already been to a 2 day workshop about teaching science through trade books.  I learned a lot of information that can also be applied to teaching social studies.  As soon as I learn what our content will be at the beginning of school I will begin planning with the knowledge I learned.  During July I will attend a few more workshops.  I have already been doing quite a bit of thinking about how I want my class to be arranged, my PGP, and this blog.  I will practice so I will be ready when the new year begins.  It will be here before we know it.
