Summer Break

Summer Break for me, working at Penobscot Job Corps, is different than in public school.  We only get about two weeks instead of 2-3 months.  This year, my wife and I are taking a trip down to southern Florida to visit her father for the first week.  I'm very excited about that.

After coming back, I'll be in the classroom.  Summer break each year allows me to recharge myself and gives me a chance to update and revise my lesson plans and the Micro-curriculum that I use in my classroom.  I'm very glad that break is coming up, because I've been meaning to update some of my lessons and try to improve student interactivity in the classroom.

  1. Always great to get away for awhile and forget the day-to-day stuff! Sounds like you will be doing some curriculum work. You said in the previous post that your curriculum is dictated by the Fed. Gov't and yet you talk about updating some lessons. How much leeway would you say you have in developing curriculum in your current teaching situation? Perhaps more than you think? Anxious to learn more about this.
