Happy Thursday #bfc530 ready for day four ... ever wonder the more expensive the item of clothing the more it takes to maintain? I have some really nice shirts, but I have to iron them before wearing ... what’s up with that?
CoachKCullen Aug 16 @ 5:35 AM EDT

Just watching local news and drinking coffee. Everyone else is asleep. It’s peaceful. #bfc530

So I may be moving to a new grade level but I won’t know for certain until Friday afternoon. This possibility, which I volunteered for, has my thinking running on steroids. #bfc530

#bfc530 Good Mroning. It's another clothes on the clotheline day, as I do more prepping for our first PD day next week.

I taught these grades (7/8) 22 years ago in a very different place. I do know a few of the other players pretty well. #bfc530

Is it a shift to a departmentalized format as well? I completely changed what I did after 23 years in, and it was a good change! #BFC530

It’s a middle school so we’re already departmentalized (or mini teamed sometimes) in grade 5. This would be a move to ELA for 7/8 grade. #bfc530

Have a great Thursday #bfc530 I’m off to retrieve my eldest who is vacationing with a friend’s family in the great state of Maine. Nothing says “summer fun” like 8 hours of driving.
