What did you do this summer?

To my students, I hope that you've had a great summer! Can you believe it's over?! WOW! seems like only yesterday when we were getting out of school. Now it's time to get 'back to the basics'. I am excited to start another year! Please tell me what you've done this summer. Did you go to the beach? Hang out at home? Visit grandma? Maybe a waterpark?

BAHA New Orleans

A group of teachers and I from Nashville Public Schools were able to visit New Orleans. This trip was a part of a grant were we toured New Orleans and learned about the history (Battle of New Orleans), and culture.

This was my summer in LA!!

Los Angeles was fun! In addition, it was good just to see my brother Marcus. I really enjoyed the diversity of food and people in LA. Chinatown is were you would want to go for some 'real' authentic Chinese food. Soul food? Take a visit to Crenshaw or to the South Central area. There's so many people in LA that are of various races, cultures, and lifestyles. It's so different from Nashville. I was able to tour the "Walk of Fame", Beverly Hills and Baldwin Hills. HUGE houses and mansions! COOL! Shopping in LA was great! I also enjoyed touring the beaches of LA! YIPPEE! It's a great place to visit, but nothing is ever like HOME! What did you do this summer?
