WOW, it is Day 65 of #summerbreak2024. Time moves quickly during summer. It seems that it was just other day when it was the last day of school, and we were waving good bye to the buses as they left the parking lot.
It also seems that just the other day, I was sitting with a group of new teachers at Gregory Middle School for my first day of teaching in August 1999. This year I begin my twenty-sixth year of teaching and learning. Which also means that I am coming back after an amazing summer break, my twenty-fifth as a teacher.
I hope you have been spending your summer doing things which matter.
I spent my summer traveling and focusing on family and baseball.
I am a baseball fan, and my favorite team is the Houston Astros. I grew up in the Houston area watching baseball in the Astrodome. The Astrodome was the world’s first domed stadium. I’ve watched baseball, football (college and NFL), soccer (the other football) the rodeo, concerts, demolition derbies, and probably more in that stadium.
