Eight Weeks of Summer Photo Share - Week Five

Eight Weeks of Summer Photo Challenge - Vacation Photos or Things I Play 

 It's hard to believe that we are about halfway through our summer break. Time is flying by so quickly. If you have missed any of our earlier challenges, don't fret. Send your contributions to g4husky@mac.com and we will add them to those submissions.

Please remember to share photos of your regular vacations.  We would love to include them.  Our focus this week will be, Things I Play.  We can't wait to see what you have to share.  By the way, please accept my apologies for being a bit late with the notifications.  Recovering from my total ankle replacement surgery has been more painful than I imagined.  Thank you for your patience.

My Summer Vacation - Things I Saw

Whatever you have done, you have made memories and memories are worth sharing.  Please send a couple of photographs of your special memories along with a brief description.  Email your contributions to g4husky@mac.com.

Remember, this Photo Share is open to ALL friends of the Glass Class.  We have had visitors from nearly all 50 states and more than 60 countries.  We invite each of you to join us in this celebration of old and new friendships.

Here is a summer pic of the sunset over Lake Travis in Austin, TX, as we enjoyed dinner with cousins, uncle and aunt (my brother and wife) at the Oasis restaurant. 

An awesome summer night with family and great burgers, too!

A Painful but Necessary Vacation

Hi folks, Mr. Glass here.  I am the teacher of the Glass Class.  You have probably noticed that weeks seven and eight are missing from our Summer Photo Share.  If you have photos to share, please send them to me and I will gladly post them.

Many of you know that I had surgery a few weeks ago.  My left ankle was completely replaced and four titanium plates were screwed into my foot as the surgeon worked hard to repair the years of damage.  I sincerely hope other old soccer players do not have to go through this.

At any rate, we are about to start a new school year.  The students return on Monday, the 13th of August and we are anxious to get the new school year underway.  I will start the semester using my knee caddy and my wheelchair.  We have some very exciting things planned to start the year, but I will let the students tell you about that next week.

We thank you for reading our blog and we would really appreciate hearing from you.

Rick Glass

School Begins Monday!

"Pirates of the "Harrisonean"
It was great to meet many of my new students at our Open House this afternoon.  I was also nice that many former students came by the room, too.  It all begins on Monday.  The fourth grade teachers, Mrs. Kinsey, Mrs. Ramsey, and yours truly, are using a pirate theme this fall.  As pirates, we plan to plunder the world of its knowledge and share much of what we learn with all of you here.  We are in the process of writing our Pirate Manifesto so you can understand our goals.

We also invite you to visit our Facebook page, the Glass Class Online and follow us on Twitter where we are known as g4harrison.  It is going to be a great year.
