AWH update, summer goals, and College

Last week was ROUGH!!  I had Math/Physics workshops that was held at the University of Arkansas.  I realized that I am not that smart being around all those Physics teachers!!!  It was an interesting few days. I did enjoy staying in the dorms and being on campus again.  

I enjoy it so much that I am headed back to college.  In order to finish my teaching certificate for 4-8 grade regular education I need to take Arkansas History.  I found out that the local community college offers classes for free for certified teachers. You just have pay the other fees involved.  I will be starting class on July 2 through Aug. 3, Monday -Thursday 6-8 pm.  I contacted the instructor and explained about my trip to Rome...he told me not to worry about.  Just get the notes from a classmate and make up any exam I may miss!!!

AWH was on the rotation this week. This is the before picture of AWH.....

I made some progress on this rotation......When I finish this page, I will be at the halfway mark on the first row of pages!!!!  

Wanted to share a photo of Bert and Gibbs.  They are such good buddies!  We can ask Gibbs where his cat is and he will go find Bert!!!
