I’ve apparently survived my exhaustive, yet exhilarating summer holiday and now prepare myself and classroom for the fun ahead. I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward more to a school year beginning than I do with this one. I’ve made lots of new friends and have discovered so many great educators to follow via Twitter, Google+ and the Google Teacher Academy that I look forward to learning new things each and every day.
That will be one of our class themes this year. I hope to be inspired by my new batch of students and, hopefully, inspire them to learn something new everyday. Our second theme is, as you can tell from our banner, PIRATES! We will sail the high seas in search of fun adventures on our 10 month voyage together and look forward to visiting dozens of ports of call along the way.
To honor our learning theme, I present this incredible short film produced by Australian, Rick Mereki. Learn.

Mr. Miller,
First off, I have to congratulate you for all your accomplishments this summer. You’re every bit deserving of everything you had the opportunity to do.
I want to wish you luck in the new school year. You definitely head back quite a bit earlier than we do but I look forward to sharing your blog with my students when we head back in a few weeks.
Thanks for sharing the video. It was absolutely amazing and definitely sends a strong message that it’s so important to continue learning no matter how old you are!
Sincerely,
Mr. Avery
Thanks Mr. Avery! I can’t wait until school starts again. I have so many new things planned for my new group of students and I am looking forward to reconnecting
