I love having a site so that I can share resources and thoughts throughout the year, but it is a challenge to write during the school year while in the grind of day-to-day teaching. 

After a jam-packed summer with a personal trip to Italy and then two great weeks of conferences at the CI SUMMIT and Fluency Matters Conference, I am finally sitting down to write a series of posts about the 2022-23 school year. Since I taught Spanish II and Spanish IV this year, I will start with reflection posts about each level.  

A few things: 

-PLEASE FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE to my blog so you will receive an email when I post. My goal is to add 20 new subscribers for each of these summer posts. Please help me reach my goal. 

-CONTEST: Remember in almost all of my posts I have included musical theater references. At this point, I have no idea which references I have included on each post. So the contest is to add a comment on 5 different Blog posts with your guess of the musical theater show tune reference (of the 5, it can only include 2 of the ones that I am posting this month). The first person, who has also FOLLOWED / SUBSCRIBED to my blog, to add 5 comments with the correct musical references will win a $25. Amazon Gift Card. My musical theater fans, if you are going to read the posts, why not read with a purpose?

Happy Reading and Back to School, Gary
