First of all, I apologize for neglecting my blog for so long. We have finished quarter one, conferences are over, and we are moving forward. The students in literacy development are continuing to spend first hour reading each day. One group just finished the third book in James Patterson's Maximum Ride series. These are substantial books, and they should be proud. The other group just finished The Outsiders and is starting the book "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town." Make sure that you ask them questions about their reading. In second hour, this class is working on vocabulary and reading skills.
Students in English 10 are reading Romeo and Juliet. Several members of each class have offered to serve as leaders as the students do background research and prepare for reading the play aloud. I am optimistic that they will do a great job. Work with vocabulary also continues.
