Wow...plenty has happened since I wrote last. First off, 9hrs of parent-teacher conferences were given over the course of 3 days, with a total of 64 parents/guardians visiting.

Yesterday(Tuesday 11/18) was our first snow day of the year!!!

In the academic realm, English 11 has begun a mini-unit on Jon Krakauer's book "Into the Wild."
We're going to create a Bucket List, CV poem (modeled after Lisel Mueller) and read sections of the novel that relate to the following essential questions:
• What is the relationship between nature and American identity?
• What does it mean to be a rebel?
• What is the relationship between self and society?
• What is success?
• How do we construct identity through our actions, interests, values and beliefs?
• To what extent is community essential to happiness?
This should be a great mini-unit.

In English 12, we have begun pre-reading activities on "Night" by Elie Wiesel. The novels have been handed out and it's always nice to have students read a novel that is as attention-grabbing as "Night."

The Chromebooks have been a great SUCCESS!!!!!
