Who out there remembers Second grade? Second grade was the time that I learned about 'cursive handwriting' and really quite enjoyed it. It was like doing art with words. I do remember I was not really one that was good with doing math skills at the time, but I did learn and remember these skills. This was the decade of the 'New Mathematics' that started when I was in First grade in 1970. The teacher also did more science and social studies and health lessons as well. My second-grade teacher was Miss Latimer and she was young and made learning fun.

September
What does the month of September remind you? For me it was always the Back-to-School time of the year. I was the kind of kid that like buying school supplies and still am since I still need these kinds of things as a writer. Nothing like opening a new spiral notebook or composition notebook. Back to the topic this was the time I got to see old school friends again and catch up with what we all did over the summer. There were new books even though they were quite outdated by the time I (we) got to use them. Wish there was 'DonorsChoose.com' back then. This was the early seventies when I went to school. We had books from the 1950's and early 1960's.

Doctor Who: Fans Not Happy.
Doctor Who is either something you like or not. If you don't like it then you will never really understand the stories. If you like it in sci-fi terms its been the best thing since sliced bread (although some Trekkies might disagree). The Doctor with two hearts is a time-space travelling alien. His race is humanoid and their home world is the planet Gallifrey. The Time Lords the Doctor's people, are masters of space and time, hence their name. The Doctor though when it comes to his people has always been a bit of a maverick and loner. Much, to the displeasure of his people. His greatest enemy known as 'The Master' is also a renegade Time Lord who as opposed to the Doctor goes around the universe causing nothing but mayhem. Two of the Doctor's greatest enemies are the Cybermen and the Daleks.

My least favorite thing in school was cursive handwriting. It was hard for me.
