Fall Break!

Yeah! Fall break has finally arrived, except here in Phoenix it is still so warm that the air conditioner is still on...oh well! My car is full of damage from the hail storm that hit here earlier this week. It could have been worse....we could have had hail damage to our apartment and we didn't.

First Quarter of the new school year

I can't believe that the first quarter is over already! It certainly has been an interesting first quarter, but I have already seen the growth in my students. Students who weren't ready, can't put down, "Diary of a Young Girl."

I love it when I have to tell them to put their books away, so that they can focus on what we are doing at that moment.

With Phoenix still experiencing triple digits, I hope that when the temps cool down, the students' interest in reading won't cool off.
