Almost All Grown Up!

I remember looking at all your pictures before school started last year. I hadn't taught 9th graders in many years, and I was a little surprised by how young everyone looked. But one of my students from last year had a REALLY different look. He's changed...a lot. We ALL wanted to see it one more time at the end of the year - but I "lost" it. Well - it was found. Cleaning out my files on the hard drive as I get my year planned, I found a picture. Should I post it?

I'm teaching all new courses this year - AP Govt, Sheltered US (ELL/DHH) , Sheltered World (ELL/DHH) - so I needed to get things in order. Things will be different for all of us. I feel more settled in as a Laker. But, just like The Godfather, I feel myself getting pulled back in - I'm coaching at Washburn this fall. The boys B-Squad coach walked out and I was "cordially" invited to return. So, from 3:00 - 5:00 (6 on game days), I'll be a Miller again. Don't hate me - feel sorry, but happy for me. I love coaching and everything at Southwest is booked solid. We'll see what happens in the spring, regarding softball.

Well, I simply wanted to give one more shout out to my former 9th graders before this site officially becomes my AP Government blog. You're free to check up and see what weird things I post, but you probably won't understand everything. However - since many of you are in APUSH, you might find some useful bits of info for your class.

So, did you want to see the pic? Beg. Or, if you're Evie - beg me NOT to post it...
