The First Post

Hello kiddos (and Ms. Aguilar &/or 5/6 cluster)-

I hope school is going well for you already. I just set up this space for us to communicate with one another while I'm gone. Most of you I know, but some of you I can't wait to meet. Hopefully, this will make our face-to-face meeting a bit easier when I get back in February.

More than likely, I will be reading/posting once a week when time allows. Ms. Aguilar and I will be working out the kinks as the school year progresses (like, do you post as a group or individuals? Do only some read/post and relay info back to the cluster/class?).

You may have noticed the date of this post is July 2nd. I realize school did not start before I began this blog, but I have to get ready to leave next week. So far, I have been given vaccinations, medications (to avoid malaria from mosquitos), computer testing on the culture and the laws of war, weapons qualification testing, etc. I should make it to Afghanistan by July 16th.

Well, I'm going to sign off for now. I can't wait to hear from you already!
