It's ba-ack.

My first official teacher day back is July 30, but it's already starting. I have a box of worksheets to staple and a pile of instrument loan forms to prepare. My packets of Suzuki violin materials are in progress. A few middle school orchestra scores have been edited. Wedged-shaped shoulder sponges and German bass bows are on order. The official back to school e-mails and letters are starting to appear. In another few days, I expect I'll have the usual itinerant's schedule that orders me to be at three required activities at once. I picked up my keys at one school today, but I really can't do anything in the room yet, as they are still installing technology stuff. Amidst it all, I've been really pondering how to positively redirect those not-appropriate-for-school-or-anywhere-else habits that will have reappeared in some of my middle school students. OK. Back to the end of my vacation now!
