Is It Really Winter?

Happy Mid-January Sunday!  I don't know what it's like in Monroe County this morning, but up here in Washtenaw, we have no snow.  If it's going to be cold, I want snow!  Otherwise I might as well move to someplace warm and at least enjoy being out in the sunshine.

Anyway, we're cruising toward the end of the semester - two weeks to go.  We're finishing off what we've been working on and we're getting ready to transition to our next units. Last week in English 9 we worked through an Emily Dickinson poem which we'll finish on Monday.  In English 10 we finished reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and this week we'll write the essay.  They also started working on their electronic portfolios for the Passion Project.

Here's this week's schedule:
