Today I'm frazzled. I think it's because I procrastinated with some things yesterday, and that piled them on for today, and I'm just not handling the things on my plate very well.

In Literature 9 we reviewed the two tests that we recently took in class. Everyone did so well, I was very (VERY) pleased. We then shared our book covers. They were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! They demonstrated knowledge of the story and such creativity. It was a great effort by all. We didn't have much time to introduce our next unit, but we'll get there eventually. Everyone should work on the vocabulary for the next story.

In English 10 we finished up our speeches. Then we moved on to the next set of vocabulary words - Words from a Group. We reviewed subjects and predicates (compound and also traditional sentences). Finally (with not much time left) we looked at a website called StoryCorps. We're going to complete a project that is related to this national endeavor.

In American Literature it was all about our books. We took turns evaluating our books (1-5 stars), Then we shared a quick summary and answered a quick fire question concerning the book. It was fun to take an entire class period and discuss literature. It makes my heart beat just a little faster.

We're getting ready to start selling tickets to The Music Man. That just makes it so real. I don't know if we're ready, but ready or not, the show must go on!
