Just finished watching "Dead Poets Society" with my students, what a classic film that never fails to ignite a passion for literature in the classroom! Spent the weekend hiking through the beautiful countryside, feeling recharged and ready to bring that energy into the classroom tomorrow. Bailey the rescue dog decided to join me while I was grading papers today – talk about a furry teaching assistant! Had a captivating discussion with my wife about our favorite novels over dinner tonight. It's always refreshing to share our love for literature outside of the classroom
