The inservice ended with boxes of pizza and dinner shared with Mr and Mrs Jung, from across the boardwalk. Today was a teacher work day, which consisted of a lot of hauling and carrying. Our classroom is starting to come together, but I suspect we will be in there this weekend to put the final touches on the thing.
There is apparently a nifty new science text coming my way this year, but it is unclear when that will happen, because the order has gotten stalled up at the district office or something like that. The first few weeks of science class can probably get accomplished with some gathering/observing/recording activities outside and around the village. It will probably be easier to figure out than reading, which still has a kind of confused district curriculum for junior high.
Dishes are clean and laundry is done, and tomorrow will be another inservice day. We have quite a few of them. We have no special plans for the weekend, but a promenade around the village would probably be a good idea, because the weather forecast is for more rain on the weekend. There has been an enormous amount of rain this summer, according to local folks.
It is still good to be back. We will see how I look at that question next week.
