I’ve always loved August. There is fullness to it that I don’t feel any other time of year. There’s always that native harvest of vegetables of every sort. But especially delightful is nature’s orchestra of sound all around as I spend some time in the yard. Heady stuff.

For teachers, August also means preparation for new beginnings, an opportunity to reorganize and rethink approaches and methods. There’s the anticipation of that very first meeting with new classes. Here are some online resources that might be helpful:
