Happy Fall!!!

The cooler days and evenings put us in that Fall mood. While I was rummaging through my student teaching resources, I came across this wonderful poem that I thought I would share…Happy Fall!
 
October’s Party
George Cooper
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best;
All balanced to their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then, in the rustic hollow,
At hide-and-seek they played,
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly “hands around.”
 
Listen to it….

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

We are half-way through October, and I am shocked at the speed the year is flying! The kids have been doing such a great job in and out of the classroom. The students will have early release this Friday at 12:50 since it is the LAST day of the first 9 weeks. WE MADE IT! I will be better at blogging next nine weeks. We all know how the beginning of the year goes getting to know each other, etc. 

Pre-AP: Next nine weeks we will be reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christi.

Student Council: We have a meeting on November 5th, Wednesday before and after school. Please attend ONE of the meetings.
