SUMMER'S ALMOST OVER
I haven't been to the beach this Summer YET!! I want to see the sunset over the ocean. Hopefully some of you readers will have had a wonderful experience someplace where the water meets the sky.
I stopped the blog in mid June after most schools were over for Summer break... starting up again for the Fall. My sister Susie, who teaches in Mareitta City Schools, Georgia, has been back in school since early August. My wife, who teaches AP Computer Science in Ashburn, Virginia, goes back on Wednesday (students don't return until after Labor Day here).
Our Summer has been occupied with mostly work and no play. My wife attended a very great course at Carnagie Mellon in July and I have been working at my part time job a bit. Youngest son is off on the Alaska Cruise ship run as a professional musician on Royal Caribbean. Oldest son, GollyGee Blocks® creator, is off in Colorado this week on vacation. Daughter, working for a Blackberry subsidiary, has been to San Francisco a couple of times for work (we get the dog!).
Think we might have one opportunity to do a short weekend at Chincoteague, VA in early September to visit two sets of friends moving there (retiring actually) from New Jersey.
I would ask that all my readers (I fantasize that there are many, though I think this is not really the case) consider telling other educators about our creativity product . If you don't have this product, you need to get it for your students. Orders can be done at our online store (we just shifted over to PayPal) or you can contact me directly at roland@gollygee.com.
Hope your upcoming school year will be successful and fun.
