My Classes First Semester


My First Bulletin Board

School has been in session for five days now and I suppose it is safe to report my first impressions of my students. I'm teaching one section of 11th grade English and two sections of 9th grade English. So far my students are well behaved and ready to learn. Discipline problems are minimal. Most of them hate English class (I had them vote!) and they don't read, but maybe we can change that. I have high hopes for these kids.
My room is evolving. I'm adding things as time permits.
The lessons so far have been engaging (I've learned something everyday, hopefully my students have.) Our intention this year is to teach all English classes as if they were Honors and support lagging students within individual tutoring. I'm really enjoying this so far! MORE LATER!
