Vacation Class: Day 2

Well, it's only the second day of vacation class, and I already know all the names of my fourteen students, none of whom I have seen before! And by the way, none of those names are English names.

Here's my schedule:
MWF 7:30am-8:30am; 9:30am-11:40am; 3pm-7:35pm
TR 9:30am-11:40am; 3pm-8:15pm

The 9:30am class is the vacation class, which will finish in late August. So far my students are great. They're a little on the quiet side, but they're warming up, and are starting to participate more, being led by one of those students that every teacher hopes to have in his or her class: an actively participating, smart student! I'm teaching a mid-upper level middle school class this term; last vacation (in January), I taught an upper level MS class that was awesome--my best middle school class ever.

My own vacation comes on July 28th, when I will have a six day weekend.

And on another note, stay tuned for Heracles (Hercules); I've been reading a play of that name by Euripides, and it was really wonderful reading.
