I love you guys. Really. It's so early in the semester and I already look forward to seeing you every day. Thanks for that. I am enjoying watching all of your different personalities. I want to read your letters and continue to learn about everyone. I know that sounds all "teachery", but hey, I am in fact a teacher.

I hear a dragon marionette is being added to the collection. I can't wait. :)

does anybody know how the blockstyle letter heading should look?

Hurricane or No??

So who thinks that we are going to get hit by Hurrican Earl??

Been gone from class for the past two school days

aight, so friday I had to leave school early to go on a young life trip, and I missed class today cause I had ISS for having my shirt unbuttoned. Have I missed much?

Also, I'm really glad that the school is focusing more on dress code than academics

Just so everyone knows, I am fine. I was doing a little late night grocery shopping at wal-mart, you know getting frozen lunches, coffee filters, etc, and I SLIPPED ON A GRAPE in the middle of the clothing department. I popped my knee out (which I have done before) and hit my shin pretty bad. I had to go to the ER and wasn't released until six am. That didn't set me up for much sleep and I never would have made it to be my bubbly cheerful self my third and fourth blocks. Just know, this doesn't happen often and I hope you guys were good and took the time seriously to get some good work done on your letters and myths. I have only seen Mike Walsh's ( I didn't ask to see them, I just thought some of you might post paragraphs looking for help). I have answered all questions on the blog and I am still accessible via this blog. I will be back tomorrow. Did we have AC today? How did things go? Did you miss me or Hali's cupcakes more? :)

Myth

What was the assignment given Friday about writing a Myth?

What's up?

Yo, for the myth, does that have to be like done by Monday? I seem to recall her saying we could finish it during class but I'm not 100% on that.

Letter to the Teacher

When writing the letter to the teacher, it says we have to choose 3-4 topics. Can we just use 2?

I don't know about anyone else, but yesterday was EXHAUSTING for me. I came home, made a smoothie, checked my facebook and went to bed. I was asleep by 5:30, woke up at 11:30, realized it was late and just checked back out. Hopefully I will quickly get back into the routine of things and won't be so zapped at the end of the day. I know fourth block knows what I mean-they were practically zombies yesterday :) I am interested to see the differences between third and fourth blocks. So far I've got a rowdy bunch and a quiet bunch. Wonder if it will stay that way?
