Seeig the city with friends makes it even better.<br /><br />Good luck with this blog. I totally agree...it will be hard for us to keep up with grading/planning/reading/blogging, but we can do it! Stay strong. Blogging tends to take up a little too much of my time, but it's fun! Now that I have a grip on my classroom curriculum, I have a lot more free time- that is, until my yearbook deadlines start popping up all over the place. Pretty soon I won't be able to put my hands on a single book:( How many years have you been teaching? Good luck on Tuesday!<br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.

We run on trimesters, so I have one English 11 in the fall (brand new for me!), two English 9's in the second tri, and then the second half of English 9 in the spring. I wish I was all English, but I have to do what they say :)<br /><br />I'm doing ItW with the 11th grade; I even think 9th graders might be too young for it. We decided as a department to do it and I was a little meh about it, since I hadn't read it and it's nonfiction, but I ended up just loving it. There is so much I can do in class with it and so much to write about. I am actually getting excited!Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00614103943067898211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459006388380354378.post-61413884962305455052011-08-29T16:49:46.531-04:002011-08-29T16:49:46.531-04:00Good list!
