Friday November 20

Dear Parents,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for a wonderful year so far. It has been a joy working with your children, and I’m truly grateful for the support and collaboration we’ve shared. As we head into the holiday season, I hope you all stay safe and enjoy some well-deserved time together. I’m excited to see what the new year brings and look forward to continuing to teach and grow alongside your amazing kids.

Warm wishes and Happy New Year!

 Happy Friday!

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 and 2, a former student of mine, Twoey Gray, came to our class to run a 'What the Heck Is Poetry?" workshop.  It was amazing.  It was so nice to see former students who have turned into amazing adults.  She's almost 30 now!  The kids and I had a blast.
