School starts back up next week and boy am I excited! I love the start of a new term. There's the anticipation of meeting new people and of reacquainting with previous students; the smell of new books and unsharpened pencils; and learning new things. What? Valerie, the teacher, learns new things each term? Well, heck ya! Okay, I already know that the word "cholelithiasis" means "the abnormal condition of having gall stones", big deal. But I'm sure that I'll learn a new recipe for spaghetti sauce from someone. Or maybe someone will share the answers to yesterdays crossword puzzle. Perhaps someone will teach me biometrics or how to read palms. Whatever. We all have some knowledge that needs to be shared. I hope that I'm privileged enough to be allowed to pick the brains of my students. I'm looking forward to it!
For my new students, come prepared to learn. Have an open mind. Get ready to have fun. For the returnees, welcome back! I've missed you! All of you should bring your textbook, paper and pencil/pen for note taking. Note cards are not required for this class.
If anyone has any questions/comments for me before school, please call me or leave a message for me at the school. They will make sure I get it. Otherwise, I will see you Tuesday in Lima or Wednesday in Leipsic.
All a'flutter,
val.
