Sometimes Monday just comes too soon.  It seems there is never enough time to do everything I want.  The quarter is coming to a close...so hard to believe that the school year is already almost one quarter done.  

I'm always hopeful that my students will be as excited about learning new things as I am, but it doesn't happen as frequently as I would like.  It won't stop me from praying for it and working for it.

I'm super excited about our Battle of the Brains team.  I think we have a great group that wants to do well.  What more can  teacher ask?  And the real dream is...wouldn't it be wonderful to win $50,000 for our school?

I have finally settled on some decisions and have started building the site.  So far I like it a lot.  I have a long way to go, but I have already posted the address and canceled my subscription to my previous website, so I am committed.  

Weekends are never quite long enough...still have grading to finish, grades to post, and things to get packed and ready for the week.  I am inspired by a pep talk from The Kid President.  Here is the link so you can check it out, too.  A Pep Talk for Teachers and Students.

So, today I am trying to build a new website.  Since I've never blogged before, this part of the website will be a bit new for me.  What does one say on a blog?  I read many and they are so eloquent, informative or just plain fun.  I hope mine fits somewhere in the midst of all of them.

I'm really struggling with putting the website together.  I keep changing my mind and wondering if it looks right or sounds right.  I can totally understand why, even though the technology is available to do it for yourself, someone would pay to have a website built and maintained.  Oh the agony of decision making....

More later...
