Well folks, that's it! At 2:25pm, the summer officially ended and it became...well...just the evening. Tomorrow morning the Class of 2016 enters the building for the first time...for the last time and I'll have the pleasure of teaching an all new group of students for the first time in four years. I'm won't say that I'm nervous (I feel much more confident than I did four years ago), but it's still strange knowing that some familiar faces won't be back in the room tomorrow morning. I'm sure the new students will more than make it up for it though.
Of course, rather than taking it easy on this final day, I decided it would be a good idea to scrap my plans for English 11 and gamify the entire course in a day and half. The bad news...I've been working non-stop for the past 36 hours...but the good news is that the work is complete! Finally it'll be time to see if gamification works with a younger and perhaps less enthusiastic crowd than it's CP English 12 predecessor.
But there's still seating charts to make, master-schedules to type, and two final laptops to find. With summer over, work has decided to jump right in. Here goes nothing...
