Just a little walk in Joliet, Montana It's summer, and I am enjoying my freedom. However, I have devoted quite a bit of time to planning for next year. I've been creating a brand new website, collaborating with other teachers, helping to develop a new writing prompt for all seventh-grade students, and contemplating ways to capture the hearts and minds of my students in the upcoming year. Of course, I have had time to relax. During the school year I don't have much time to read books of my choosing. I've read several this summer: Fates and Furies , The Promise, The Wife Between Us , Everybody Always, and even a trashy true crime book! I also purchased Great Alone by Kristen Hannah, as well as Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. I visited my dad in Joliet, Montana! What a culture shock! Population of 497! SO beautiful but overjoyed to step back on to San Diego soil. One of the many deer I saw on my walks...
