After sticking around to teach summer school and work on pacing guides for the district, I’ll be traveling to Chicago for a Differentiated Instruction Conference, then on to Switzerland for a few weeks. When I return to the states, I’ll head to back to South Dakota for Also Like The Wind’s (our band) last show. At the beginning of August, I’ll go see my family in Dallas and hopefully visit San Marcos to see all of my Texas State friends.

I don’t imagine I’ll be writing here very much during my travels, so I plan to update SoDak It Hurts with submissions from the ‘zine we made earlier this spring titled What it Takes to Begin. Fellow teachers submitted some excellent and creative reflections on their experiences in the classroom – I’m excited for you all to be able to read them.

See you in August!
