Thanksgiving Break

Amazingly enough we have made it to the Thanksgiving break.  My classes have been busy and probably are welcoming a few days to rest their minds.

Seniors have finished their term papers and have turned them over to me for assessment. We have had several power points this week.

10th graders have been reading about John Steinbeck and the novel Of Mice and Men.

8th grade have finished up their unit on The Diary of Anne Frank and this week we contemplated the matter of who came out of the door--the lady or the tiger?  Students wrote an analysis of the ending of the story and what they thought the character of the princess would signal to her lover the courtier.

One Act Play is getting off the ground.  We are proud to present a fantastic play first performed at the Minneapolis Children's Theater --Little Women--an adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel.  Now our work lies ahead of us over the next few weeks.

Quarter will be ending before long-- even though the end of the quarter is January 6 and that seems like a long time from now, the truth is that we only have 20 contact days left this quarter. We have a lot to accomplish in the coming weeks.
