Plant love!

Well, we're starting to plant kale.  The greenhouse was built on Monday, and the containers were filled with soil yesterday.  We planted today.  It felt so good to be out in the sun and the warm breeze!

It seemed like the students were into it, too.  Almost everyone had a positive attitude and was willing to work.  Hey, does it get any better than that?

I don't really like kale, but I'm willing to "rethink" it since we worked so hard getting it planted!

New School Year!

Hey, the new school year has started!  It's so good to see some students from last year, and fun to get to know the new freshman.  The "deer in the headlights" look that many of our newbies had the first few days has given way to a more relaxed look -- and sometimes more relaxed behavior. You know who you are! :)

On a personal note, my daughter has started her college career at Allen Hancock.  She's loving the freedom!

As for me, I enjoy working with Mr. Grimm and his students.  It's a relatively stress-free environment in which I get to nurture, instruct, cajole, and, best of all, laugh!
