My Summer Classroom


I have devoted today to an all day curriculathon for our new summer class NURS 4910 and thus far I'm truly enjoying it. I know, curriculathon, sounds nerdy doesn't it? Check out my classroom though! Here I sit sipping lemonade on my newly repaired deck in a lounge chair in the sun with a view of the maple tree and rhodadenderon in my back yard typing away to the sounds of birds chirping. The part I didn't tell you about yet is my retired neighbor wandering around witih his shirt off on the other side of the fence singing to himself. Maybe I should get some headphones...
Most of the class is being conducted online as all of my enrolled students have gone home over the summer and are spred from Chewellah to Medford. They are reading the book "In His Image" by Dr. Paul Brand as part of their assigned readings. They are required to post reflections on the assigned chapters weekly. Thus far I am truly blessed and impressed by their posts. Check out www.bestdaysever.wordpress.com if you feel so inclined.
