I'll get this right one of these days

So... I had a blog on my web site for a while. I ended up deleting it after it kept getting spammed every day. I kept having to delete things so I just git rid of it. Now I'm going to try again here on Blogger to see if I can keep it up.

We're already in week seven of this school year and things are getting pretty busy. I have several debate tournaments coming up, escorting kids to the Navy Pier College Fair this Saturday, taking another group of kids to ISU next week, and I'm being observed by my Principal tomorrow. Oh... I've got 35 kids on the debate team also this year.

My Latin American Studies class is getting ready to start an oral history project. This week, I'm going to teach them some basic interview techniques and conduct mock interviews. Tomorrow is the first mock interview session and Ms. Plascencia, the Principal, is coming for my first formal observation of the year. It's actually a great class she's coming to observe; they're a great bunch of kids.

This Saturday is the Navy Pier College Fair and I'm taking about 35-40 kids with a couple of other teachers. Our college counselor is on maternity leave so it somehow fell on us to arrange this. Fortunately, our principal agreed to pay for a bus so we can take these kids. Otherwise, it would be pretty difficult for some of them to go.

So... let's see how long I can keep this going this time. I really like the idea of keeping a blog, even if it's just for me.
