Welcome Back

I hope that everyone had a fabulous summer.  I know that I sure did.  My favorite place to spend a warm, summer day was on my front porch swing with a good book, and there were many days spent there and many books read.  That being said, I was starting to get a bit restless and eager to get back into a routine.  Some of you may be finding yourself in the same situation.  Hopefully it will not be too difficult for the students to get into that routine.  I am sure many of the students are eager to get back to school to see their friends (and teachers, of course).
