9 weeks and counting...

Ah! 9 weeks left! This year has flown! I have high hopes for the next quarter- kiddos getting in their late work, fulfilling requirements and making a strong "Hail Mary" to finalize this next step.

I am not oblivious to the fact that many are coming off of spring break with zombie-like attitudes, and they will not actually wake up until the last 3 weeks of school. I will hold them like I do my sweet chicks that hatched for us just this morning! Five and counting! They are so CUTE!!! I hope we will have 25 when all is done...oh I have spring fever!!

Moving forward, we are facing testing at the end of April, but before then, writing, writing, writing for my sophomores and reading the most famous "White Man" essay- "The Declaration of Independence"- the greatest of all argumentative essays ever written- purely opinion based of course! I have not looked at it in a few years, but when I taught my son's English III class, they really got into the argument! I had a husky, dreaming-to-be fire-fighter, and his large red-headed best friend preaching the ideas from the famous document, fist in hand and telling classmates to be quiet and listen closely...we will see how this group of kids respond! I am excited to open the ancient document! It should be interesting!

Moving forward to more baseball games, soccer, softball, track, cheer, football training, prom, senior trips, etc., our days will be fast and moving forward quickly! The days will be a blur!
