Mr. Denisovich

Coming back to work on Monday was a shock indeed to my summer-softened sensibilities. Three days of meetings, planning, and beating the dust out of the classroom find me eagerly awaiting tomorrow's arrival of a dozen eight year-olds. With students this year from nine different countries, I expect to learn as much from them as they hopefully learn from me. And I'm already counting down the days to next February's International Food Fair.
