From Summer to Fall

by Jean Lockwood

I was suddenly made aware today that summer is coming to a quick end. I know I should have been aware that it would end soon, but it has once again snuck up on me.
I’m not ready for school to begin yet. I know what I am doing with my kids this year, but I don’t have all my supplies yet.
I am also not sure if I want to participate in our local co-op classes this fall, or take a break from them.
I will have to pray about it, and take into consideration the way my kids may feel about it.
For the past 6 years or so, I have taught a class for high-school kids on Creative Writing.
I have had a blast teaching that class, and have found a lot of kids are creative and don’t know it until someone shows them.
For the next three weeks I will enjoy summer, and make plans for fall.
Plans for American History, Classification of bugs and leaves, SPelling tests, and Math.
I will plan a trip to the NY state Museum in Albany, and ice skating on Fridays.
I will also plan on enjoying teaching my kids- after all, I will only have them for a short time, and then the summer of their lives gives way to fall- and they will leave for a life of adulthood.
