The Heat is On

When the heat cranks up, my classroom gets unbearable!  By afternoon both Thursday and Friday it seemed better to just go outside.  Here are some pictures from my 5th Hour.  The first set are from Friday when we took our discussion outside to the courtyard.  It was shady and comfortable (though buggy), and though we felt a little like zoo animals since every classroom around the courtyard could watch us, they want to bring blankets and do it again next week as long as the weather cooperates.  Mr. Lukosavich says we can do this as much as we want, so I think it's a go!

Thursday afternoon we tried heading across the parking lot toward the track, but it was definitely a bit too hot.  I think the courtyard works better.

Here's what we managed to accomplish last week.  English 9 read two chapters from Of Mice and Men, then 1st and 3rd Hour were sent on their way for the long weekend with Chapter 3 to read.  English 10 has read about 1/3 of Tuesdays with Morrie.

This week, here's our agenda:

English 9

• Tuesday, 5/29 - Academic Advisory - ch. 3 study guide; quizziz for ch. 3
• Wednesday, 5/30 - verbs; group poster for ch. 3
• Thursday, 5/31 - verbs; read ch. 4
• Friday, 6/1 - verbs; finish ch. 4

English 10

• Tuesday, 5/29 - Academic Advisory - read pp. 80-114; Type 1's
• Wednesday, 5/30 - pp. 115-51

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  Enjoy your week!
