Conference Week!

English 10- We started reading To Kill a Mockingbird. It is not an easy read, so we will be taking our time and listening to some as well as reading aloud.  There are a lot of points available for this novel as long as the students do the reading or follow along with the reading.

English 12- We are coming to a close with the memoir The Glass Castle. Most of my students have really enjoyed this novel. They have even read ahead for fun!  Once we complete the novel we will begin writing the Senior's own memoirs.  I hope we will have 20 pages to go in the final draft.  This project will be from now until the end of the school year.  We will work on it at different times.

Economics- We have just begun Econ.  Students will need to really focus on this as it is pretty new information to them.  We have spent several days working with opportunity costs.  Ask your student what kind of trade off they made today.  What is the opportunity cost of that choice you just made?  No test coming up as of yet.  We have had a vocabulary quiz, but not much in the grade book as we have spent a lot of time working with terminology. we watched a short Youtube clip on opportunity costs.  I will offer 5 extra credit points to anyone that makes a short video using opportunity costs. (2-5 minutes)
