Once back from our trip to the mainland, we quickly returned to our routines.  I started teaching science methods to a new group of pre-service teachers, and R went back to teaching English.  The boys played.  We got a new dining room set that provided some big boxes for forts, rocketships, and puppet shows.

My favorite photo for the month was probably the photo of the toad taken on July 21.  I made my students keep science journals this semester and I think it encouraged me to pay more attention and notice nature more often.
