Yesterday was another frozen one. I stayed cozy at school in my tweed vest and wool sport coat, but I wondered about some of my students in their short-sleeve shirts. I noticed some of them shivering during English class. Listening to Mr. Salsich drone on is surely numbing enough without adding the wintry feel of January air on your skin.

I feel good about where I am in my teaching at this point in the year. We are halfway through, and, looking back, it feels like I’ve covered a lot of material with the students. It feels like we’re in a position to, in the next four months, slowly and carefully cover some other important items, and also – important – review things that are particularly essential.

It’s good to have Matt (my son) back home. He visited his girlfriend in Guatemala for two weeks, and now is back and getting set for 13 weeks of student teaching in a third grade class in New London. He’s looking forward to it, and I’m looking forward to hearing about it as the days pass. He’s going to be a splendid teacher.
