So sorry for the long delay since my last post. As you may have heard from your student, I had the flu (despite having gotten the shot)....bummer.  As a result, Beatnik Day was moved to today --- it was a lot of fun! So great to see the kids really own their poems and so many all dressed up for the occasion.  We will finish up tomorrow.  If your student went in class today, their grades are up to date.  Block 2 still needs to have their ch. 5 quiz scored (another casualty of my absence)  This will happen tomorrow. A few kids will present tomorrow --- and then, we are done with 1st semester. Up next is To Kill a Mockingbird, Washington State History and MAPS testing 1/30 reading and 2/7 math.
