Oh how I missed my kids yesterday! I had to take a personal day, but I can't tell you how much I wish I could have been there.
Week four wrapped up with all the freshmen finishing "The Most Dangerous Game" and taking the Unit I reading quiz. Two of the classes started working on setting and reading "The Pedestrian," and the other two will do the same next week. We will also continue working on persuasive writing next week, and the Unit I test is scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
The seniors finished up Unit I by starting their in-class essay and taking the test. As far as I know, everyone survived the experience, and I'm proud to say no one lost their minds, either. They are also trying to finish reading The Inferno so they can present their projects on September 9th. I know they are worried, but I can't wait to see how creative they can be.
The essay counts for both an RHS SR English grade and one of their DSCC essays, and I'm hoping that by doubling up like that I can give them what they need for both courses without destroying their social lives.
Here's to everyone having a grade Labor Day weekend. See you Tuesday :)
