Mrs. Stubbs's English Blog: Finding that Rhythm

What I love about October in the classroom is that we finally get "normality". The interruptions die down, we're done with pep assemblies for a bit, there are no days off, so we hit a rhythm and really start to get things done.

Last week my English 9 classes took their first Romeo and Juliet quiz for Act I, and now we're well into Act II. In English 10, we continued reading, and I think I see the end of the book by the end of this week! Exciting times!

So here is what we're doing this coming week:
