It’s far more powerful to “swim” with your students. -Dave Burgess, Teach Like A Pirate

Summer is definitely about immersion.  This summer I’m getting uncomfortable, taking chances, diving into the deep waters.  I have plans to relax (what’s that?) and learn new things for my classroom.  I’m going to ponder, reflect, plants some seeds (literally and figuratively), so that in the cold winter (prior to those new State tests), I will have stored food to keep me going with passion and enthusiasm.  In the meantime, I will practice immersion in my pool and in the beautiful Florida weather and restful (hopefully) pace of summertime.
