One Month and Still Kickin'

It has been exactly one month since I have written and to tell you the truth, it's been a wild ride. Some things have been going great, while others are things I'd rather not deal with. I'm doing a unit on masks this three week grading period and so far it has been a fun experience. It's fun to see what the kids have come up with. Right now I am in the process of actually teaching the process of short story writing. That is one thing that is fun about this, the kids have some wild imaginations and I am excited to see what kinds of stories they come up with.

Hopefully this all turns out ok, but they are in for a rude awakening the next three weeks because we are reading, "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold and it will be a good experience for those kids who haven't read a book yet this year. Well, I'm on my prep so I need to get something done before class...
