Garbage Eating Squirrel

This little guy snuck into our garbage can and stole an orange peel. Here you can see him chowing down while perched on power lines.

Vacation Week

A few reminders...

If you haven't already, please finish reading Freak the Mighty over break. Make sure you finish your study guide for Monday, the 23rd.

If you have English during 6th period, make sure you are studying your vocabulary words. You will have a quiz when we get back from break on all the words in our "Alien Invaders" unit from the R-book.

I hope you all get a chance to curl up with an awesome book over break. Right now I am reading The Enchantress of Florence, by Salman Rushdie. It's pretty surreal and I'm enjoying the break from reality :)

Week Before Break

Hello All-

Thank you for your patience last week. We did pretty well on our test, however- I will not be shaving my head this year... Close, but no bald English teacher. Thank you for all your efforts though. I have seen a lot of writing improvement, and it makes me very proud when I think of what our writing looked like last year :) Well done.

This week we will reconvene and figure out where everyone is with their reading. How do you like Freak the Mighty so far? How is this novel different from other novels we have read the past two years? How is it similar? Would you be interested in reading the sequel? Why or why not?

One more week until February break! I hope you all had a great weekend. See you tomorrow.
