Wow!  It has been a L – O – N – G time since my last post!  Summer is a time for many of us to unplug and switch gears.  I wish I could say that I get to spend time recharging, but it never quite works out.  I am the Language Immersion Director for our Summer Programs here at school, and this has been my 8th summer at camp.  We have a week of “pre-camp” set up and then thew program runs for 8 weeks.  This means that I launch straight from closing up my room into camp and then I get a short 2 weeks before school meetings start up again.  Even though my break is short, I do enjoy my camp job.  The staff is fun to work with, and some of them I only see in the summer so it’s always great to reconnect.

Now it’s time to start thinking about next year.  I have to do the usual: labeling folders, taping down desk tags, running off worksheets, sorting out books that got packed in a hurry, etc.  I will also have a mounted projector and smart board for the first time, so I will be figuring out how and when I will use it.  I am very excited about this opportunity, and I have lots of help from the tech staff here as well as my Classroom 2.0 colleagues and others I have met on the web.

Stay tuned for posts about my summer curriculum grant and our new classroom blog.
