CAL PTO – THANKS!!
A great big thank you to the CAL PTO! I was surprised a couple of weeks ago with a gift bag full of goodies! As I scrounged through the contents, I thought “These are all my favorite things!” WOW! Thank you for such a sweet and thoughtful gift!
Also, Thanks to the Prioncipal’s discretionary funds from the PTO, my class was able to purchase new dictionaries! Thanks!!

Class of ‘09 – Senior English
I love teaching Senior English – the literature, the students, the discussions. This year’s classes have started successfully. We began the semester with Hamlet – the students read it for their summer reading, and we watched the Kenneth Branagh direction of the play on video. The video was very long, but it was so helpful for the students to see the play in action. Afterall, plays are meant to viewed, not read! This week, we will wrap up our Hamlet study, but never fear – Shakespeare will return later on in the year! Today and tomorrow, we will complete the Hamlet CSI Investigation. It was fun looking at King Hamlet’s murder through the eyes of a crime scene investigator, and the students learned much about identifying character by taking on the roles of Detectives who interview characters to find who is really guilty.
I pray for my students that they will be a blessing to someone in their lives today.
