One Quarter Gone Already????

I cannot believe that the first quarter of the school year has already passed! It has flown by, and we have been super busy. Here are some highlights:

1. I went to DC with the 8th graders. I don't have them in class, but my son is in that grade. It was more amazing than I could have imagined!
2. My students are doing Passion Projects. We can't do the 20% time, but we are doing at least 10%. I am so excited to see what their end results will be. 
3. My 7th graders read The Outsiders, and we went to see the play. Very fun!
4. The 9th graders just finished To Kill a Mockingbird. It is one of my favorite novels of all time. I love seeing the students get into it. We end up reading a large portion of it in class. The students want me to read because I really get into the voices!

As for my new Part-Time Administrator duties, I have been working hard to help the teachers learn how to use the IPads in their classes most effectively. Also, we have the students signed up for many academic competitions throughout the year, and we are even bringing back the middle school science fair!

It has been a very successful first quarter, and I can't wait for the next to begin!
