New school year


We spent the week at Alamo elementary school getting ready for a new year. The "in-service" meetings were a bit of a disappointment. We could have learned so much more from a discussion with our colleagues than from the so-called experts that have been too busy travelling the "inspirational" speaker circuit to spend much time in the classroom. We didn't need to spend time analyzing test data that has already been examined far too much. The opening convocation with Ron Clark was enjoyable, as was the address by our new superintendent.


Harry and I were blessed to go and visit with Danny and Jessica and baby Katelyn this afternoon. She's grown a lot in 10 days since we saw her last. She is responding to our faces, and moving around so much more. We are surely having fun with her. Maybe we'll get to babysit soon. She's going to church tomorrow. Wish we could sit with her!
