Life has been overwhelming lately...sorry about not blogging as much. My to-do list is getting smaller:

• Have begun creating your semester review.
• Created the rubric for your essay.

• Complete, proof, and print hardcopy of first newspaper.
• Prepare and decorate for a church Christmas party.
• Shop for Christmas
• Make Christmas goodies and share with all my young friends. Interested? No, I won't forget the candy canes!
• Back to reality...grade papers.
• Make out exams.

English Class To-Do List:

• Print Julius Caesar test to be admininstered on Friday.
• Print additional rubrics so they will be ready as I grade the Julius Caesear essays due on Tuesday.
• Print phrase test to be administered on Tuesday.

Let's complete this list and have a Merry Christmas!
