Today was actually kind of a boring day.  During school, I had a class right off the bat.  It was US History so we started the year off right by talking about American Colonialism and how the different regions had different colonial experiences.  The students did a little bit of popcorn reading and did really well with it, I thought.  The rest of the day was devoted to planning.  I’m sure once I’m in control of the class, it will be a welcomed time, but right now it’s not the most exciting part of my day.  After school, I collaborated with McCall on some of my homework for OSU while Katie went to the gym.  I spent the rest of the afternoon reading about the mental state of Preston Brooks before he wacked Charles Sumner in the head multiple times in 1856.  It was an interesting angle of the topic.  For dinner we had a grilled chili pepper with meat in it, along with frijoles and macaroni.  Luckily, I have three classes with the kiddos tomorrow, so it should be a much more interesting day.
