I've been a terrible classroom blogger

At the beginning of the year, I planned on using this space in order to communicate and reflect.  I would share grades, lessons, results, highs and lows. 

And then the school year started.

Suffice to say, blogging has not gone well so far.  Here's to a new beginning.

Some great stuff from English III:
We've started basic writing goals.  Our Juniors have great ideas, but terrible writing habits.  Instead of changing all of them at once, we're working on one goal at a time.  This week:  Perfect Capitalization.
We researched and peer-taught on our first group, The Puritans. 
Our vocabulary program, into its third week, had a big boost:  3 of our words were on the PSAT test! 
We're about 2 weeks away from our first novel (The Crucible)

From Literature and Social Policy:
Corn corn corn.  Ask your student how corn affects everything we eat.  We've read, watched, researched, and documented the government's role in producing cheap corn.  Our final project:  How do we educate others?
