Happy Monday - Well it is back to work time. Tomorrow my sabbatical leave is officially over and I am back to 100% work. I do so with great enthusiasm. Teaching is a great career and a new school year means lots of excitement and many new beginnings.
I've been in contact this weekend with some of the students who are transferred off to university and starting their exciting transition to upper division and a whole new level of expectation. I wish them well and offer to be a sounding board whenever they need it.
Our new group of students (there will be 150 total at ICC in engineering) starts to move in on this coming Saturday and school starts next Tuesday. In the interim we teachers begin the work of planning curriculum and activities as well as professional development workshops. I'm throwing in a two day engineering camp on Wednesday and Thursday for students who are starting Project Lead the Way at Grand Rapids High School.
For those of you out in the real world. I encourage you to take a moment to realize how nice life is without 3-4 hours per day of homework. We envy you.
Have a great day and expect TBL frequency to drastically increase!

And we envy Christmas break, spring break, and of course 3 months off in the summer.....
Of course, there are those of us in the real world who experience the 8-10 hour work day PLUS 2-3 hours of homework for a Master's degree. Now that's fun!
