I am officially on Summer Vacation.  All of the requisite obligations have been fulfilled. So, now, I actually have a brain with which to engage other things.  What’s dominating my thoughts at the moment are:

1.  Flipping my middle school Spanish 1 classes, with special consideration to Spanish 1-7

2.  Teaching boys, especially from the framework of foreign language education

3.   Working with a new textbook series in my Upper School Spanish 1 course

Numbers Two and Three are related; the class will consist of just boys.  Therefore, my teaching of the course and of the students will present unique opportunities and challenges.  I actually think that flipping the Spanish 1-7 class will be the easiest.
