Our Eagles won on the road Friday night. It must have been a very competitive game. Especially since the very controversial QB that transferred back to Hastings this week played the second half and was very good. Proud of the Eagles D for holding Hastings and that awesome QB to only 7 points.
Wish I could see the game next week, but I am heading to Nacadoches, TX for a couple of fantasy football drafts. I'll have to wait for the next home game.

My Classroom - it'll be full tomorrow.
This is going to be a great year.
This is my classroom for the new year. Tomorrow these seats will be filled (38 in my 6th period will do that!). I am so excited about seeing the new students that I will meet for the first time. And I am even more excited about seeing my former students and how much they have grown.
A look as you walk through the door. I am lucky to be back in the corner. Most people leave me alone. If you come through my door, well... you meant to do it. :)
I moved my desk to the back this year. I had it along that window there last year. It was hard to see the computer monitor and this gets more kids in the front of the class. I think that's a psych ploy by me to make them think they are better students. :)
Closer look at my desk. :)
A look at the front of the room. I am going to do more work with me teaching from the board this year. I know, old school. But, the kids get tired of power points and projections. We are going to add a little more light this year. :)
You can see my "Target Board" on the left side. It's where I post our learning targets, agenda, and notes to my 3 preps. Above the board are college pennants, hopefully reminding them of why we are learning what we are learning. This year I added a cut out of the Geiko "Money you would be saving if you switched to Geiko." I'll call it, "Money you could be saving if you prepare for a college education."
Our beautiful school. We are so lucky to call it home. Go Eagles!
Wishing a good first day to all the teachers and students out there.

Welcome Back - 1st Day Introduction Video
The sun rises on a brand new year. This is the video that I will show on Monday to my World History Pre-AP classes. It started as a "Rules Video" a few years ago. This gives me an opportunity to show the kids some of my expectations for the year w/o talking like Charlie Brown's teacher for 50 minutes.
We had a lot of fun with Aidan and the green screen towards the end of the video. There are some neat outtakes at the end.
The video isn't perfect, but I think it sets a tone for a hopefully GREAT school year. Welcome back.

Missing my girl...
I am going to miss you so much girl... once winter comes around, who's going to snuggle on my lap?
Harley hated to be cold. She'd be on my lap on the first 40 degree day. Football season was always something that we shared.
I am so glad she's no longer in pain. But, now I am.
Looking Forward to "Backspacer"
Pearl Jam's ninth studio album: Backspacer.
In stores on Sept. 20th. Can not wait. One month away!
I don't think I've been this excited for a PJ album in a long, long time.
