Spring break is over, the students return, and I survived jury duty, or at least the first week out of eight. Yes, I got one of the longer jobs possible; however, so far it has been a very eye-opening experience and in the scheme of things, it really is not so bad. So many people give service to our country for a year or more at a time in the National Guard or armed forces, so a couple days (or eight in my case) is small when you look at the big picture. Besides, someone has to do it.
In other news, I got back at school and had an email from the people at scratch.mit.edu with information about organizing a Scratch Day. I will be thinking about this and looking into what other Scratch teachers in Memphis will be doing, so more to come on that later.
To all my friends and colleagues, students, and parents, welcome back to school! TCAP is on the way and summer is on the horizon, so best wishes to everyone as we make the most of our last couple months of the school year.
