Spanish Moss

My second term class just started.  This is always a weird time of year for me.  I feel comfortable and content with my students from the first term.  We have a rhythm together.  The good, the bad, the mischievous are predictable now. But, now there is this new crop of kids who seems so unfamiliar. It will be a curious experiment as the eighteen of us journey through American History.  At first unsettling but hopefully soon a similar comfort will arise from this group despite first impressions. The irony is we are starting the course all over again: 1492, Columbus, Native Americans, Spanish Moss.
