Sunday Afternoon...

...I spent this afternoon, like I do most Sunday's, at school getting ready for my week in AP US History.  However, today was little different.  30+ students showed up to review for their mid term exams this week.  I feel honored and privileged to be able to teach at school where the kids are willing to come in on Sunday.  When I got home the emails from parents saying Thank You blew me away.  This is not me trying to brag, I do this for my kids in class. They want to be successful and they work extremely hard. I hope the review helped them understand some tough content that they need to know that the College Board expects them to understand. 

Should my posts be longer?

This Is What Matters

Last night I had to give a brief but very important presentation to our Athletic Boosters at school.  I was lucky enough to celebrate Andy as the Athlete of the Month for Hockey.  I have been coaching hockey for 4 years for our high school team.  Andy is the epitome of the student-athlete in every way.  He is our captain and works hard on the ice but even harder in the classroom. This past weekend, as President of National Honor Society, he organized Hockey for Hearts benefit hockey game that supported heart and health awareness.  I have learned a lot from teaching and coaching, and I hope my 2 boys at home will grow up with same work ethic and determination that Andy shows on a daily basis.  It has been a privilege to know him in the classroom and on the ice.

It has been a while...

My last post was in 2013, yeah that is problem.  I really want to start blogging on a regular basis.  I don't want to make excuses for myself but I have a extremely busy life right now with hockey coaching, 2 kids and awesome wife at home, and teaching a full load of AP US History.  Blogging is on my mind but "Time" is always the issue.  Someday's there is just not enough time in the day. There are days I would much rather blog and get my thoughts out vs. grading and scoring AP essays. I need to stay up to date with this blog.
