Exercise Your Body

Tomorrow starts the craziness of my year. I do this ridiculous program called "Exercise the Right to Read" in my class. Last year I got the whole school (cough cough--three classes) to do the program. It is a lot of fun where we challenge kids to read a mile each day (a minimum of 26 minutes each day), and then run a mile each day. The fun part is first thing in the month when they all try really hard, and then after day three they are tired of it.

That's life, isn't it? We all get excited, but once we realize it's work, we poop-out.

Anyway... I thought it was a bit of silliness that some of you can imagine: Kindergartners and eighth graders running a mile every day.

There it is.

The Desert

No, not the dessert. The desert. I have been wandering around in the wilderness for the past 41 days and 40 nights. But I believe I am back. I have done a lot...

I've set up a webpage for the Fauf and her delightful book...

www.SherlockAcademy.com

I have taught (essentially) 3 months of school in a one month time period...


I put on an amazing date (if I do say so myself) for the Fauf...


I have been acting as a professor to the students at Hancock...



I have cured a rare African disease...


Well, one of those things isn't true. But I won't tell you which.

Needless to say, I'm back like Lord Voldemort in HP and the GF.
