Wednesday, August 24

5:58 s.m. - Yesterday a contractor came to fix the pool heater...apparently a fuse was bad.  Thank you Sentry Pool for previously sending out two techs who apparently didn't know what they were doing and costing us a total of $400 for parts we didn't need and a service call that didn't help solve the problem.  Geez.  

The beginning to the school year continues to go well.  I'm getting a lot of things completed, and I'm ahead of last year's lesson plans.  Last year we were still in masks and taking breaks outside and teaching was still a mess.  This year there are definitely fewer distractions.  Today is the first Free Read Wednesday, and I'm looking forward to that.  57% of the students in English III reported that they did not read even one book over the summer.  It's tough to have good SAT scores when students are not readers.

Last night, Braeden and I had our first volleyball assignment.  United Township still isn't very good.  They were beaten badly by Sterling Newman.  I had the R1 position for the varsity match.  Admittedly it was a little nerve wracking starting the volleyball season because I'm not as comfortable with that sport as I am with softball or basketball.  I wish I "saw" the game a little more in depth to have a better understanding of player alignments.   

Today it's back to junior high softball after school...heading to Cambridge.  One more softball game next week, and the softball equipment can go to the dry cleaners for end of the season cleaning.
