I am looking forward to seeing you all after our summer break. I hope you had a lovely, restful summer. I will be back teaching half-time again this year, but I will be at Sheldon in the mornings this fall - so it won't cause a problem for SWAP at all. I don't know what will happen in the Spring, but we I will do my best to make sure I don't lose you. One change in the fall will be that our SWAP classroom will now be the Computer Lab - room 309. I know this is a bit confusing, but I'm sure you will be able to adjust! Ms. Elberg is now using my old classroom all day, and I will be teaching my morning classes in the computer lab. |
