Back at It

 After two lovely vacations, one on Hilton Head Island and one over the holiday break in Western Michigan, I am back and thinking hard about my learning objectives for the summer and my teaching goals for next year.

Not only did I enjoy a beautiful escape from the Georgia heat and a superfun time with my family, but I also had some time for some much needed pleasure reading.  I read several books that I really loved-- The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dumont, The Time Traveler's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger, and I'm Here to Win by the triathlete Chris McCormack. 

I also started Education and Experience by John Dewey, which I'll talk more about later.  

Yes, vacation is wonderful!
