1/2 way done already?!

I realize it has been a very long time since I've posted anything and for that I apologize. Being an ag teacher is a lot of work I have learned and I'm exhausted! What has gone on since my last post? Well I attended an awesome conference that focused on STEM education at the Daytona International Speedway. We learned about how we can incorporate racing into our curriculum and then highlight the science and math that goes into racing. It was really cool. We are also just wrapping up our National FFA week celebrations here at HMS. We had an awesome time yesterday flying kites with the kids after school. I didy first farm visit recently and had an absolute BLAST helping this young man improve his showmanship skills and looking at his heifer. Finally, I've been helping some students prepare and perfect their Ornamental Horticulture demonstrations that they will be performing and competing in next week. The students are doing a great job and coaching them is a lot of fun. I can't help but count down to spring break though (4 more teaching days)!!!
