This
may seem impossible, but it is truly what I have done this summer. I must confess I have not completely
unplugged myself, but I have certainly limited my “on screen” time. Spending my time on the ocean in the fresh
sea air has helped me prepare for the up and coming school year. I stepped away from my blog to collect my
thoughts and am back and ready to go! As
the new school year approaches I am riding the same roller coaster of emotions
as I am sure many of my students are riding.
Excitement and anticipation are coupled with some anxiety and a bit of
sadness. As I say hello to new students
and new lessons, this means I will be saying good-bye to my time on the water,
and the people I transport to and from their boats in Cotuit Harbor.
I must admit though I know I will miss
the great outdoors and the feeling of the sun warming my mind and spirit; I am
so excited to discover the passions of my new students. I cannot wait to introduce them to the world
of blogging as they continue to create, manage, discuss, research, and
publish. I know the year 2012-2013 will
be filled with so many opportunities for me to continue learning alongside my
students. I can't wait to get started!!
